Curved Bars and Davits

This product helps students to understand the deflections in curved bars and davits when used as simple structures to support loads. Students fit the lower end of a choice of curved bars and davits to a fixing plate. The upper end supports a variable load. Two precision indicators measure the deflection due to the load.

This product includes a Vernier caliper for accurate measurements of the cross-section of the curved bars and davits.
