Thin Cylinder
• A bench mounting apparatus to allow the stresses and strains of a pressurised thin walled cylinder to be investigated and analysed.
• The apparatus consists of a thin-walled aluminium cylinder, held in a robust frame.
• The frame holds the cylinder so that it is free to move along its axis.
• The cylinder contains oil.
• To stress the cylinder, students use the hydraulic handpump to pressurise the oil.
• Strain gauges on the cylinder surface measure strain, while a gauge and electronic sensor measure hydraulic pressure.
