Forces in a Truss Forces in a Truss and Redundant Truss – SV201
The experiment Forces in a Truss/Redundant Truss is intended for ALLOWS THE EXPERIMENTAL INVESTIGATION OF DETERMINATE
use with the Armfield Universal Frame and enables the experimental AND INDETERMINATE STRUCTURES
investigation of deflection of trusses under load. SOFTWARE INCLUDED AS STANDARD
This then allows Castigliano theorems to be proven.
This exercise module has the following properties:
u Assembly of both a Determinate and Indeterminate Truss Framework via various
length members, detent pins and joint hubs
u Quick and easy assembly of members via special detent pins and joint hubs
u Up to 10 members possible in one joint hub
u Loading unit with spindle drive and universal load cell for force measurement
SV100 Bench mounted frame (sold separately)
u Members suitable for use with both trusses
armBUS software Redundant member easily adjusted for length

Description Experimental content
All members are clearance-drilled at each end to allow the detent pins u Study of strains in a statically determinate structure
to engage freely in the joint hub.
u Study of strains in a statically indeterminate structure
The machined joint hubs are drilled with a circular pattern of holes for
u Study of stress in a statically determinate structure
the detent pin connections. In each joint hub there are 10 holes so that
scale divisions of 30° and 45° are possible. u Study of stress in a statically indeterminate structure
The smallest angle spacing between two members is 30°. This enables u Study of forces in a statically determinate structure
up to 10 members to engage on one truss hub. u Study of forces in a statically indeterminate structure
One member on each truss hub must be rigidly located in the joint hub u Study of deflections in a statically determinate structure
via a drilled location hole. This is necessary in order to obtain a rigid, u Study of deflections in a statically indeterminate structure
statically certain truss. Without this, the joint hub would itself become
an additional member of the truss.
The external stresses are applied to the truss via the load cell assembly. Features / benefits
The experiment frame deforms under the force and the deflection of
the frame can be measured. u llows construction as a basic Determinate and Indeterminate
A
The load cell assembly can be attached to the frame at any truss hub, Truss Framework
it enables tensile and pressure forces of up to 400N to be applied u Simplified versions of realistic structures
and measured. u Load can be applied at different joints
u Redundant member easily adjusted for length
