Thick Cylinder

Thick Cylinder

•    A self-contained bench mounting experimental apparatus to enable students to investigate the distribution of radial and hoop stresses and strains throughout the wall of a thick cylinder and to compare the practical results with those predicted by theory.
•    These gauges measure the radial and hoop strains.
•    Jointing cement fills the groove.
•    The apparatus consists of a thick-walled aluminium cylinder, held in a robust frame.
•    The cylinder is in two halves, cemented together.
•    One face of the joint has an eccentric shallow groove that contains ten strain gauges at precise radii and orientation.
•    Strain gauges on the inner and outer walls of the cylinder measure longitudinal and circumferential strains.
•    The cylinder contains oil. To stress the cylinder, students use a hydraulic hand-pump to pressurise the oil.
