MEBM Euler Buckling Modes Unit

With the Euler Buckling Modes Unit, "MEBM", the four Euler buckling cases are demonstrated, for which four elastic bars are fixed or supported in a frame and subjected to compression load with a system of weights.

The elastic bars can be free or supported by embedment or articulation and different weights can be placed on the upper supports in a staggered manner to apply the compression load until buckling starts and the axes of the bars are laterally deformed determining the critical buckling load.

The different supports of the elastic bars allow the study of:

• Free - fixed end.
• Pinned - pinned end.
• Fixed - pinned end.
• Fixed - fixed end.

The buckling length can be easily determined with the help of a grid located on the rear wall of the frame.
