Vibration Fundamentals
Training System

The Vibration Fundamentals Training System is a turn key integerated educational package for teaching/learning the fundamental principles of mechanical vibration as well as engineering mechanics.

Shake Table

ETS Solutions Shaker Systems applies basic shaker theory to its shaker components. Additional components combine to meet the specific performance specifications in shaker testing.

Photo Elasticity

This Equipment to carry out practical exercises about photoelasticity for 2 or 3 users illustrates the photoelasticity theory, as well as the elasticity theory, strength of material and structure theory.

Virtual Work

Virtual work and the associated calculus of variations were formulated to analyze systems of rigid bodies,but they have also been developed for the study of the mechanics of deformable bodies.

Shear Centre of the Cross section

Equipment is for determination of Shear Centre of the Cross section.

Pin Jointed FrameWorks

1.To allow the study of strains within various true pin jointed frameworks
2.To allow the study of stresses within various true pin jointed frameworks
3.To arrange a variety of frameworks including roof trusses, warren girder
4.Introducing students to strain gauging technology
5.Comparison of different frameworks
6.Comparison of actual and theoretical resultss.

Forces in a Truss

1.To measure the axial strain and hence force in each member of a pin-jointed truss for comparison with calculated theoretical values
2.To compare experimental results with the member forces calculated by resolution of the forces at joints
3.Measure strains exerted on each truss member
4.To view compressive and tensile forces/strains.
