Deflection of Truss Apparatus

Apparatus consist of 4 panels of a PRATT steel truss, each panel being 40cm in horizontal direction and 30cm in vertical direction. Load can be applied on each panel point. All tension members should be provided with detachable springs so as to obtain appreciable deformation of the member. Direction of the diagonal members may be changed. Apparatus can be used to illustrate visually the nature of forces set up in various members of the Truss. Apparatus to be supplied should be complete with a supporting stand and a set of weights.

Experimental Capabilities: Apparatus is supplied complete with a supporting stand and a set of weights
