plot load–extension diagrams
| Code | SE110.48 |
Description:
- Mechanical stress, to which design elements are generally exposed, generates stresses in the affected component or the material.
- If these stresses are too large, there is plastic deformation of the material in addition to the elastic, reversible deformation.
- The component does not return fully to its original form after the deformation, resulting in a change of shape.
- The beam studied in SE 110.48is mounted on both sides.
- A movable and a fixed support are included in the scope of delivery to secure the beam.
- The beam is loaded with a point load.
- The load application device can be positioned anywhere on the frame.
- A dial gauge records the deformation.
- Beams of different materials and profiles are included in the scope of delivery.
- The transition from elastic to plastic deformation is observed and determined in the experiment.
- The values obtained are used to create a load–extension diagram, in which the nonlinear behaviour of the deformation is demonstrated.
- The parts of the experiment are laid out clearly and housed securely in a storage system.
- The entire experimental setup is constructed in the SE 112 mounting frame.
