The Column Buckling equipment is used for studying strut buckling under load. Column Buckling is to be used with Universal Structural Frame or Universal Base Frame. A small lateral load is applied by means of a pulley and a weight hanger. A dial indicator measures the lateral deflection. The top frame has a loading screw which pushes a cylindrical strut support sliding in a bushing. Each strut has end conditions for knife edge or built in. The load reading is by an indicator. The bottom frame has a load cell and a cylindrical strut support in a socket.
