Torsional Vibration Apparatus

The Torsional Vibration Equipment provides a basic range of Torsional Vibration Equipment. Steel and brass rods of two different diameters are included. A wire rod clamped in a wall mounted bracket has a heavy disc attached to the lower end. A solid ring can be located over the disc to increase its inertia. All brackets, clamps and adapters are supplied.
Torsional Vibration Equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles being taught. Great care has been given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and compact.

Experimental Capabilities:
To determine the modulus of rigidity of the wire rod.
To verify the dependence of the periodic time of oscillation of a "shaft"mounted flywheel on the moment of inertia, length of shaft, and shaft diameter.
