Torsion of Circular Sections

Torsion of Circular Sections

•    The other chuck connects to a load cell to measure the resulting torque.
•    Students apply angular deflection to the specimen using a chuck which includes a precision potentiometer to measure the angular deflection.
•    This helps confirm the reliability of the textbook equations and the accuracy of the experiment results.
•    It also allows the student to vary the eff ective length of the rods to see how this aff ects the magnitude of deflection for a given torque.
•    Students use textbook beam equations to predict the deflection and torque relationship and compare the calculated results with the measured results.
•    The potentiometer and load cell connect to the USB interface hub of the Structures platform for computer display and data acquisition.
•    This product includes a set of rods of different metals and a tube for comparison of the elastic properties, dimensions and polar second moment of area (‘J’ value).
