Buckling Behaviour of Bars

Buckling Behaviour of Bars

1. Investigation and testing of all relevant buckling cases
2. Verification of the Euler Theory of buckling
3. Experiments in horizontal or vertical orientation
4. Test bars in various lengths and materials
5. Test bar ends pinned or fixed
6. Spindle to apply forces
7. Transverse load application device generates shear forces
8. Force measurement using a hydraulic load cell
9. Measurement of lateral deflection by dial gauge
10. Storage system to house the components
