Deformation of curved-axis beams (FL 170)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

elastic deformation of curved-axis beams Description: In construction engineering, a distinction is made between beams and arches. An arch is a statically indeterminate supported structure with a curved axis and ...

Buckling of bars (SE 110.57)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

demonstration of buckling in bars Description: Long and slim components such as bars, beams and columns are often subjected to compressive forces along their long axis owing to their function. Under the influence...

Torsion of bars (SE110.29)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

elastic torsion of a bar under a torque Description: Torsion occurs primarily on axles and drive shafts in motor vehicles and machines. The torsion occurring in the shaft cause cross-sections of the shaft to be p...

Investigation of simple stability problems (SE 110.19)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

representation of simple stability problems on a buckling bar Description: Buckling is a stability problem which occurs in practice when slim components are subjected to compressive loading. Following a “disturba...

Demonstration of Euler buckling (WP 121)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

demonstration of all buckling cases of Euler buckling Description: In stability theory, the four cases of Euler buckling represent the elastic flexural buckling of straight bars. Above a specific load – the buckl...

Buckling behaviour of bars (WP 120)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

investigation of all relevant buckling problems Description: In engineering mechanics, loss of stability is known as buckling. The bar axis laterally deflects under the effect of compressive forces and with incre...

Deformation of frames (SE 110.20)

• Manufacturer: Labequip

principle of virtual work to calculate the deformation and support reaction in a statically indeterminate system Description: A frame is a bent beam with rigid corners which creates a so-called structure gauge. T...
