Deformation Truss

thingiverse

This model is perfect for illustrating numerous engineering concepts. When discussing trusses in statics, it offers a tangible way to demonstrate how structures respond to forces in real-time. By allowing students to physically manipulate the beams, they can develop an intuitive grasp of how internal forces are generated. The truss model also excels at teaching strengths of materials on axially loaded members. Since trusses transmit forces directly through members, it provides a practical demonstration of axial deformation's existence. This hands-on approach helps students gain a deeper understanding of axial deformation. Use 1/8" threaded rods and wingnuts to assemble the truss. Custom Section
