Technical Description
This table-top unit demonstrates the normal distribution of stress in the radial, tangential and axial directions in the wall of a container under internal pressure, and allows theory to be checked experimentally. A thick-walled aluminium cylinder is placed under internal pressure using a hand pump; the pressure is displayed on a manometer. The hydraulic system is hermetically sealed and maintenance-free. Strain gauges are fitted at various radii in a joint in the cylinder. Using these gauges, it is possible to fully record the strain in the cylinder. For this purpose, the FL 151 Multi-Channel Measuring Amplifier is used as an accessory. The actual stresses are calculated from the strain measurements. All components are fitted to a portable base plate.
Learning Objectives / Experiments
