A Tensile Strut Testing Machine
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 July 2016
Extract
Slender Struts are usually tested with pin joints at both ends, because this is the theoretical condition which is most readily achieved (or closely approximated to) in practice. In conventional testing machines this results in a compression column with two pin joints. The instability of this column makes the accurate alignment of the loading members important, and reliable testing becomes correspondingly difficult.
