Columns and supports are used as load-bearing structures in buildings or machines. The design and testing of the load-bearing structures includes not only the compressive force that need to be absorbed, but also the stability. In engineering mechanics, the loss of stability is referred to as buckling.
SE 200.08, in combination with other accessories of the MEC Line, enables the smart, digitally supported experimental setup of a buckling device. The experiment contains a clamping device for the test rods with a lever mechanism. A load unit, support and distance measurement are available as smart accessories. The experimental arrangement is set up in the SE 200 mounting frame. The stainless steel mounting frame provides direct and wireless data transmission and power supply for the smart components. The click system ensures the components easily snap into place.
The buckling behaviour of test bars is examined in the experiment under the influence of different types of support: free, hinged and clamped. The load is applied to the test bars using the SE 200.22 load unit. The measured forces and deflection are displayed both directly on the smart components and in the GUNT software as measured values. The opposing forces of the load are absorbed by a separate support. All 4 Euler cases are displayed.
The GUNT software identifies the components used and reacts dynamically to changes. The measured values are analysed in real time.
All components are clearly laid out and well protected in a storage system.
