Curved Member Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SML-12100
Quick Answer: The Curved Member Apparatus uses a steel bar to form different curved members: a circle, a semicircle with straight arm, a quadrant of a circle and a quadrant of a circle with straight arm. Load is applied at the free end, and the horizontal and vertical deflection are measured with dial gauges.

About This Product
Rings, hooks and arches are curved members, and under load they deflect both horizontally and vertically. Students apply a load at the free end of each shape, read the deflections on dial gauges and compare them with values worked out by strain energy methods. The apparatus shows how the shape of a curved member changes its deflection, and it is used in strength of materials and structural mechanics labs. Schools, colleges and distributors in Côte d'Ivoire, Gabon, Timor-Leste, Japan and Equatorial Guinea can source the Curved Member Apparatus from School Lab Equipment India.
