Teaching Equipment for Strength of Materials
Designed for the educational and experimental approach to knowledge acquired in Strength of Materials and structural analysis courses.
Developed for education, the BED 100 enables controlled loads to be applied to simple or complex structures in order to put into practice the laws of material behavior, to design and study stresses and strains in a structure and at connections.
Description:
# MODULARITY:
The mechanical interface enables a structure to be clamped and controlled loads to be applied. A wide range of supports and connections allows a large number of combinations.
# ERGONOMICS:
Control unit on wheels, embedded electrical and computer equipment, ready to use. Quick familiarization with the testing bench to perform several manipulations during the practical session.
# EFFICIENCY:
Easily configurable interface enabling intuitive and optimized manipulation.
# PEDAGOGY:
Analysis of results in Excel® enables processing of raw values obtained during manipulation and working with stress and displacement evolution curves.
Practical sessions can be oriented towards:
- Determination of second moments of area of simple and complex structures
- Verification of deformation of complex structures
- Characterization of materials and assemblies
- Study of connections, Torsors
- Design and application of beam theory, simple and combined loads.
Developed in partnership with professors of mechanics and engineering sciences, for high schools, BTS, IUT and Engineering Schools
