DESCRIPTION
Six different bar specimens can be supported individually using a clamping mounting block. A vertical load is applied to the ends of the specimens using a pivoting load hanger.
The specimens use the same material and cross-sectional area and are similar in size. As a result, the deflection of these different specimens can be compared and evaluated.
The beam mounting bracket is universal for all of the curved beam experiments. These can be either clamped on the top or side of the bracket, depending on the specimen being tested. The specimens are clamped via 2 thumb screws allowing for ease of use without additional tools being required.
The load hanger is clamped to the specimen via a thumb screw. This assembly allows for the weight hanger to always be applying a force directly downwards from the end of the specimen as it is free to rotate around the clamping point.
The twin Dial Test Indicator (DTI) mount allows two digital indicators to be positioned perpendicular to each other. This allows the horizontal and vertical deflection components to be easily measured.
