STRAIN MEASUREMENT FOR STRUCTURES

Apparatus for investigating strain measurement in a variety of specimen types, including straight, tapered, and box section members in both steel and aluminium, comparing measured strain with theoretical values.

• Steel specimen (long): 410 (L) × 25.4 (W) × 3.2 (T) mm
• Steel specimen (short): 270 (L) × 25.4 (W) × 3.2 (T) mm
• Aluminium specimen: 270 (L) × 25.4 (W) × 3.2 (T) mm
• Steel tapered specimen: 270 (L) × 30 narrowing to 20 (W) × 3.2 (T) mm
• Aluminium box section: 585 (L) × 25.4 (W) × 25.4 (H) × 1.6 (T) mm
• Digital Dial Gauge: 12.7 mm travel; 0.01 mm resolution
• Weights set: 2 × 5 N, 4 × 10 N, 4 × 20 N, 2 × 50 N
