Understanding Structural Behaviour
Armfield have teamed up with Dr David Brohn (who is also working with the Institution of Structural Engineers on this topic) to develop a range of hardware and software specifically to address this issue of understanding structural behaviour. This is a highly modular system with almost an infinite range of possibilities.
To simplify purchasing, the components are available in a number of kits depending on requirements, there are eight standard projects including:
– Cantilever beam
– Simply supported beam
– Two span beam
– Pinned beam
– Rigid right angle joint
– Rigid portal frame
– Portal frame with pinned connection
– Portal frame with pinned support
The equipment provides an unsurpassed and unique learning experience when the display software is coupled with the sensors, actuators and analysis software.
Armfield can trace its history back over 130 years, throughout which, the Company’s policy of quality, innovation and service has helped it to maintain a strong market position and develop a reputation for industry leadership in the field of Engineering teaching.
