Forces in a simple bar structure

This unit represents a simple bar structure. In the single plane system the bars are only subjected to compression and tension. Loads are applied only to the nodes.

• resolution of forces in a single plane, statically determinate system
• 3 node disks, 2 of which serving as supports
• 3 bars, each fitted with a leaf spring element and dial gauge
• 2 fixed bars, 1 adjustable bar
• 5 different angles adjustable between bars
• storage system to house the components
