Three suspension elements (spring balances) of varying stiffness make up the apparatus, which is joined at one point to provide a redundant joint. The upper end of the suspension members is secured to a vertical wooden board by a positional tie. It is possible to apply a vertical load to the joint and use dial gauges to measure the forces and elongations in the suspension members as well as their horizontal and vertical displacements on paper. The equipment includes dial gauges with magnetic bases.

EXPERIMENT:-

Comparison of experimental and theoretical results of forces in the members and the component displacement of the loaded joint D of a three bar suspension system for vertical loads.

REQUIRED ACCESSORIES:-

• Redundant Joint Apparatus
• Dial Gauge : 1 No.
• Magnetic Base : 1 No.
• Hangers : 1 Nos.
• Weight of 500gm : As Per requirement.
