The GUNT Photoelastic Demonstration trainer is designed to visually demonstrate stress profiles and stress concentrations in transparent component models using photoelasticity. It enables clear visualization of stress distributions in plane plastic bodies under various loading conditions through polarized light.
Product Features
- Uses polarized light to investigate stress distribution in plane, transparent plastic models.
- Polarising filters display stress profiles in colour, highlighting notching and point loading effects.
- Compatible with overhead projectors to enhance visual demonstrations.
- Various transparent plastic models are mounted inside a frame for testing.
- Load application device applies pressure or tensile loads via a spindle to the model.
- Arrangement of polarising filters and quarter-wave filters generates linear or circular polarised light.
- Includes a green filter to produce monochromatic light for clear stress pattern visualization.
- Monochromatic light produces dark and light stripes reflecting mechanical stress distribution and magnitude.
- Models represent typical components, allowing experimentation on notching and point loading.
- Additional models available for roller bearings, tooth flanks, screw connections, and wrenches.
- All components are clearly arranged and securely housed in a storage system.
Benefits
- Provides clear, colourful visualization of stress profiles in transparent models.
- Demonstrates real-world stress concentrations and design criteria effectively.
- Supports hands-on learning with a variety of component models and loading types.
- Enhanced visualization using monochromatic light and polarised filters.
- Organized storage ensures ease of use and component protection.
