Simple Stability Problems Study Unit

The Simple Stability Problems Study Unit, to study the stability of a bar subjected to buckling by obtaining the critical load in different configurations.

ATENG 12167 — Simple Stability Problems Study Unit

Bench-top unit with adjustable legs.

Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.

• The “ATENG 12167” unit mainly consists of:
• Two-part buckling bar with a central elastic joint:
• Length: 520 mm (length of each part: 260 mm).
• Cross-section: 20 x 20 mm.
• Material: stainless steel.
  The support of the two parts is articulated-articulated.
• Device to apply compressive load:
  Load application lever with scale.
• Length of the load bar: 400 mm.
• Device to apply shear force:
  Deflection pulley to hold a weight holder and a set of weights. ATENG 12167 detail
• Elastic clamp fixing to represent a fixed end:
  It is formed by a steel leaf spring.
• Length: 300 mm.
• Cross-section: 10 x 2 mm.
• Elasticity modulus: 210000 N/mm².
• Elastic joint:
  It is formed by two tension springs and a lever arm.
• Spring rigidity: 1.67 N/mm.
• Lever arm: 55 mm.
• Three supports:
  One articulated upper support to hold the load application lever, a weight holder and a set of weights.
  Two articulated supports to hold the buckling bar and the leaf spring.
• Set of weights:
  8 x 5 N.
  10 x 1 N.
  It includes two 1 N weight holders.
