Comprehensive Learning of Structures Principles
The Next Generation structures range consists of teaching equipment for understanding basic structural principles focusing on beams, bridges and cantilevers for students of mechanical, civil and structural engineering.
Key features
- A range of 21 experiment modules that teach structures principles
- Fits to the Structures platform for ergonomic use and space-saving storage
- Interchangeable square section structural members to allow easy construction of four different frameworks
- Strain gauge amplifier and multiple strain gauges for measurement of force in each member of the trusses
- Simplified versions of realistic structures to give students an understanding of real-life structures
- Additional load cell available for multiple experiments
- Supplied with storage trays to keep members and smaller items safe
- Works with user-friendly software (VDAS®)
