Stress Testing

This is a tackle kit for the Vernier Structures & Materials Tester. The Kit includes a 50 x 50 x 6 mm and a 50 x 80 x 6 mm aluminum load plate, chain, threaded rods, U-bolts, and other accessories to make it quick and easy to load bridges, materials, beams, and structures of varying sizes and shapes.

The Vernier Structures & Materials Tester enables students to calculate the strength of model bridges and engineered structures by measuring an applied load. Students can also evaluate stresses and strains and the relative properties of materials by deploying both load and displacement sensors.
