Torsion of Rods and Tubes

Product Description

Description of Torsion of Rods and Tubes The Torsion of Rods and Tubes comprises of a torsion head at one end and a fixed tailstock at the other, between which are held a variety of torsion specimens in three (3) jaw chucks. Fine rotational movement, in each direction, of each chuck allows accurate alignment of the Torsion of Rods and Tubes specimens. Each torsion specimen has profiled ends to match the clamping pattern of the chucks. The Torsion of Rods and Tubes is mounted onto a bearing shaft, which is rotated using a thumb wheel and fine worm/wheel gearing mechanism integral to the torsion head. The thumb wheel and gearing applies known torque to the torsion specimen, whilst an integral load cell records the torque force being applied. An angular position sensor is also mounted at the torsion head end to monitor the angular twist of the torsion specimens. The signals from the load cell and angular position sensor is fed directly into the Interface Experimental Capabilities of Torsion of Rods and Tubes Verification of the classical theory of torsion in circular section rods and tubesComparison of a tube and a similar tube with a 1mm slit along the lengthComparison of the extended theory of torsion for a hollow square section member with experimental valuesShear modulusModulus of Rigidity, GPolar moment of inertia Specification of Torsion of Rods and Tubes To allow the study of torsional behaviour for rods and tubesTorsion specimens held within a fixed and movable chuckTo have torque applied to specimen using worm and wheel arrangementTo have torque force output using load cell5 torsion specimens including round aluminium rod, round aluminium tube, round aluminium tube with 1mm (approx.) side slit, square aluminium tube, round solid acrylic rodTo have angular rotation output via angular position sensorMust be used with universal Frame and StandMust be used with InterfaceComprehensive instruction manual provided
