Unit for studying Forces in an Overdeterminate Truss Deluxe

The Unit for studying Forces in an Overdeterminate Truss, allows the comparison and investigation of bar forces in statically determinate and overdeterminate trusses.

ATENG 12160 — Unit for studying Forces in an Overdeterminate Truss

Anodized aluminum frame and panels made of painted steel.

• The “ATENG 12160” unit mainly consists of:
  Five node discs, two of them are used to hinge the truss structure to the frame of the unit.
  Eight bars made of stainless steel.
• Three of 424.3 mm long from node to node:
• Each bar is equipped with a force sensor and two bars, one of 67.6 mm and the
• other of 279.8 mm.
• Five bars of 300 mm long from node to node:
• Each bar is equipped with a force sensor and two bars of 111.5 mm.
  The bars allow to form flat trusses of different angles.
