The unit allows to study the buckling of pieces of different lengths, ranging from 300 mm. to 625 mm, to which different support conditions can be applied:
Rigidly fixed end conditions.
Pin-joined end conditions.
One end pinned and the other fixed.
To measure the compression force exerted on the structure, there is a system composed of an elastic ring whose deformation is measured.
The compression force will be directly proportional to the deformation registered in a dial gauge.
To carry out the practical exercises correctly, it is very important to apply the force with an only axial component. For that purpose, the unit has a differential screw placed at one end, which allows the system compression.
