VirtLab - Stability of the Rod (Free)

App per la simulazione del lavoro di laboratorio sulla disciplina Forza dei Materiali.

PURPOSE: Simulation performance of laboratory work on Strength of Materials discipline.

OBJECTIVE: Experimental verification of the validity of the Euler formula for the critical force upon compression of a flexible rod.

SUMMARY: The main element of the laboratory installation is a rod of a rectangular cross-section. The rod is installed in the right and left supports, the design of which allows the hinged or rigid fastening of the rod ends in the plane of least rigidity. The right support is connected to a dynamometer using a calibrated hour indicator, the left one to a screw type loading device. In the middle section of the rod is installed a deflectometer (indicator of the watch type on the stand). To determine the force acting on the rod, you need to use the empirical dependence obtained when calibrating the dynamometer.
