About This Product
The experiment shows how a structural element can yield and still carry load before it finally fails. With each fixing arrangement students predict where plastic hinges will form and the load that causes collapse, using textbook beam equations and bending moment diagrams, then compare with their measurements.
Frequently Asked Questions
