The Simple Stability Problems Study Unit, "MEPE", has been designed to study the stability of a bar subjected to buckling by obtaining the critical load in different configurations. The unit consists of two bars of same length connected by a...

The Unit for studying Methods to Determine the Elastic Line, "MDLE", consists of set of beams, several supports (with clamp fixing and dial gauges, and with force gauge), a device to generate a bending moment, fixed pulleys, dial gauges and a set...

The Thin Cylinder Unit, "MCD", has been developed to enable the student to verify various analytical formulae with actual measured results. Strain gauges mounted in various positions and orientations on the cylinder provide an opportunity for...

The Unit to Study Stress on a Membrane, "SSM", designed by EDIBON, allows the study of stresses and deformations in a thin disc or membrane subjected to different compressive stresses.The main element of the equipment is a thin disc or membrane...

The system consists of a vertical cantilever rigidly clamped at its lower end to the main column which is attached to a rigid structure. Beams of different sections may be used.A loading head, located at the upper end of the column, can rotate...

The Deflection of Curved Bars Unit "MDB" consists of a structure of aluminum and steel that allows the incorporation of different curved bars to be studied. It allows tests with curved bars of different shape.The use of two dial gauges placed...

The Beam Deflection Unit, "MFV" has been designed to enable the students to observe and study the following phenomena in simply supported beams and cantilever beams:Relation between the deflections and the applied loads.Effect of the length and...

The Strut Buckling Unit "MFLT" allows the student to obtain experimentally the buckling critical load of slender struts subjected to compression.The unit allows to study the buckling of pieces of different lengths, ranging from 300 mm. to 625 mm.,...

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...

The Universal Buckling Unit "MUP" is a bench-top unit whose frame is made of anodized aluminum profiles and plates and steel elements, on which a bubble level is installed to equilibrate the system.The unit has been designed to carry out tests...

The Shear Force and Bending Momentum Unit, "MMF", unit is formed by an aluminum and steel structure that allows us to perform a mechanical study of different structures.An articulated structure makes it possible to convert the application of one...
