Earthquake StructureTester

Kelvin

Have students design and build a tower,

bridge or house from balsa wood. Then attach it to

the Earthquake Machine and turn the earthquake

on. Vary the speed using the variable speed power

supply

(sold separately)

and see how long it takes

before the structure begins to fall apart. Includes

1,000g weight which can be attached to the struc-

ture to give it more destruction mass.

Structural Stress Analyzer

AMT

Authentic testing platform designed

to be both dependable and durable, the SSA

enables students to perform materials testing in

the same manner found at the college level - a

perfect experience for inclusion in the student

portfolio. With forces up to 1,000 lbs. the SSA

displays real time data measuring force and deflection of classroom-con-

structed towers, bridges and tensile samples. This stress-strain relationship

curve allows students to analyze and describe the performance of samples

using college level concepts and vocabulary – an essential experience for

college and career readiness.

Fischer

For testing of specimens that will require from

300 - 5,000 lbs.

(+/- 1% Accuracy )

of tensile load to cause

fracture. Consisting of a load frame and a pumping system,

the operator has precise control over the entire opera-

tion. Self-tightening grips accept up to 0.125" x 1.13" cross

section, but the 5,000 lb. maximum load limits the largest

specimen that can be tested

(varies according to material strength).

Provides

digital readout of live & peak loads. Meets ASME, AWS Codes & MIL Stan-

dards. Calibration
