Apparatus consists of three suspension members (spring balances) of different stiffness, which are jointed at a point to form the redundant joint. The upper end of the suspension members being tied in a position to a vertical wooden board. Arrangement is provided to apply a vertical load at the joint and to measure its horizontal and vertical displacement on a paper and also elongations and forces in the suspension members by the help of dial gauges. Dial gauges with magnetic base are provided with the apparatus.
EXPERIMENT:-
Comparison of experimental and theoretical results of forces in the members and the component displacement of the loaded joint D of a three bar suspension system for vertical loads.
REQUIRED ACCESSORIES:-
• Redundant Joint Apparatus
• Dial Gauge : 1 No.
• Magnetic Base : 1 No.
• Hangers : 1 Nos.
• Weight of 500gm : As Per requirement.
