resolution of forces in simple bar structures

Description:

• FL 111represents a simple bar structure.
• In the single plane system, the bars are only subjected to compression and tension. Loads are applied only to the nodes.
• The unit comprises three bars that are joined together using disks such that the joints are free to move.
• A longitudinally adjustable bar permits the bar structure to be constructed with different angles. .
• The bars engage in the disks by snap-locks.
• Two of the node disks also form the supports (fixed and movable) and are clamped to the sturdy aluminium section base frame.
• The external load is applied to the upper nodal point by means of weights.
• The bar forces occurring are measured by the deformation of leaf spring elements in the middle of the bar.

Learning Objective/Experiments:

• measurement of bar forces
• calculation of bar forces by the method of joints
• comparison: measuring result – calculation – graphical method
