Simple Suspension Bridge
This equipment allows measurement of cable tension resulting from uniform and non-uniform distributed and point loads on the rigid deck. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
A light metal alloy with stiffening ribs is carried by two rows of nine equally spaced hangers, one on each side. Each row of hangers has a flexible steel cable support whose length simulates a parabolic curve. Each end of the cable passes over a pulley to a load hanger. Special loads are provided to simulate uniform distribution load and movable point load.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
- Demonstration of the characteristics of a simple suspension bridge
- Examination of the relationship between applied loads and the suspension cable tension
- Observation of the stability of the structure
- Comparison of behavior to simplified cable theory

Structures and AccessoriesUniversal Structural Frame
This is a basic bench top type twin rectangular frame of 30 x 60 mm aluminum profile with adjustable footings. Optional structural models and accessories are attached to the twin frame by clamps to support specific experiments in the field of structural mechanics especially where underhung and sidehung weights are required.

Structures and AccessoriesTorsion of Rods and Tubes
The equipment is used for the investigation of torsion and torsional rigidity in rods, and tubes. It is to be used with ST305 Universal Base Frame or ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The apparatus has two columns attached to the base frame. One end of the specimen is clamped to one of the column. A lever can be clamped to the specimen at the test length from the first column for measurement of the angle of twist. A pulley for load hanging can be freely rotated in the second column. The other end of the specimen is clamped to the pulley.
Measurement of angle of twist is by a dial indicator on the arm, and of torque is by the load and pulley diameter.
Instruction manual is also included.
TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS- The relationship between specimen length, torque and angular deflection
- The behavior of specimens of different materials and cross-sections
- Comparison of angular deflection in similar hollow and solid rods.
- Polar moment of inertia.
