About This Product
A truss carries load through its members, which act in tension or compression. In the lab, students load a model truss and see how the forces are set up in different members. The detachable springs in the tension members make their deformation easy to see, and altering the direction of the diagonal members shows how that changes the forces. The apparatus is used in structural mechanics and strength of materials labs. Alongside supply within India, the Deflection of Truss Apparatus is offered for export to Montenegro, Rwanda, Venezuela, Morocco, Sri Lanka and Maldives.
