Column Buckling

The equipment is used for studying strut buckling under load. It is to be used with ST300 Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).

The top frame has a loading screw which pushes a cylindrical strut support sliding in a bushing. The bottom frame has a load cell and a cylindrical strut support in a socket.

Each strut has end conditions for knife-edge or built – in. The load reading is by an indicator. A small lateral load is applied by means of a pulley and a weight hanger. A dial indicator measures the lateral deflection.

Instruction manual is also included.

TYPICAL EXPERIMENTS
  • Euler buckling loads
  • Relationship between strut length and collapse load
  • Relationship between various end-fixing conditions and collapse load
  • Nature of deflection and deflected shapes with various end-fixing conditions
