CRITICAL CONDITION OF STRUTS

This apparatus demonstrates how the buckling mechanism occurs and shows the influence of end restraint. A sheet metal frame supports four slender spring steel struts each with a different end restraint, allowing instant visual comparison of buckling behaviour. End restraints provided:

• Both ends pinned
• One end pinned, one end fixed
• Both ends fixed
• Base fixed, top free (flagpole)

For the first three, the middle of the struts move inwards as the strut buckles. Learn about CRITICAL CONDITION OF STRUTS price for optimal educational outcomes.. Loading platforms act through relatively friction-free guide bushes. The back of the frame features a wipeable grid for measuring and drawing the deflected strut shape, which can be cleaned easily.
