Verification of stress hypotheses

Stress hypotheses are applied in the science of the strength of materials when calculating comparative stresses where unequal stresses are combined.

• experiments verifying comparative stress hypotheses from the science of the strength of materials
• 7 different load combinations of bending and torsion
• loading of the test specimen without shear force by compensation for the influence of dead-load
• test specimens made of steel, copper, brass, aluminium
• generation of load moments by means of weight and lever arm
• measurement of the deformation at the point of maximum deflection
• storage system to house the components
