The TrueStructures™ Airfoil Structures Lab is a complete system
for the exploration of countless structural engineering problems involving bending, torsion and combined loads. Through a loading
apparatus and strain measurement system, students are able to see how their theoretical understanding compares with measurements taken
on actual hardware.  A unique feature of the TrueStructures™ Lab
is the fully instrumented aerospace component representing real-world hardware. Students are able to simulate
aerodynamic and vehicle loads, measure the resulting strains and experimentally determine the stress condition.A custom strain bridge controller and strain gauge
channel selector makes for near effortless data recording.
Strain voltages and the applied load are digitally displayed. Students are able
to focus on results rather than the implementation. An "open system" design allows unlimited future expansion. The included
lab procedures
provide step-by-step instructions on the basic operation of the lab. |
