The GUNT SE 200.02 - MEC: Forces on a Suspension Bridge allows the study of tensile and compressive forces in trusses simulating a suspension bridge using smart, communication-enabled bars. Real-time measurement, visualization, and analysis of forces provide hands-on understanding of bridge mechanics and structural engineering.
Product Features
- Investigation of tensile and compressive forces in trusses without bending
- Smart bars with electronic modules for direct and wireless data acquisition and display
- Hinge-connected bars in node disks ensure frictionless, ideal truss behavior
- Quick-click system allows easy assembly of bars into node disks
- Supports bridge connections, trusses across corners, larger trusses, and indeterminate trusses
- Accessories include supports, vertical load, load unit, and additional bars for experimentation
- GUNT software visualizes truss topology and reacts dynamically to bar placement and external forces
- Measured values displayed in real time as numerical data and color-coded representation
- Displacement can be measured, amplified, and compared with calculated FEM values
- All components laid out clearly and securely stored in a protective system
Benefits
- Provides practical understanding of force distribution in suspension bridge trusses
- Supports real-time measurement and visualization for precise analysis
- Enables comparison between experimental results and FEM calculations
- Ideal for structural, civil, and mechanical engineering education
