🔍 Explore our Two-Pinned Arch Experiment (STS10), an advanced experiment designed for the study of load characteristics on a two-pinned arch structure. Mounted on the Structures platform (STS1) and compatible with VDAS® Onboard, this setup allows students to explore how different loads impact horizontal reaction forces.

🧪 Hands-On Learning: Students apply loads to suspended hangers between two supports – one pinned and one roller support. A load cell accurately measures the horizontal reaction forces, helping students validate textbook equations by comparing predicted forces against real data. They also learn to create influence lines and bending moment diagrams, enhancing their understanding of structural behaviour.

📊 Expand Your Experiment: Additional masses enable the application of uniformly distributed loads, allowing comparisons between single point loads and UDLs.

🎯 Key Learning Outcomes:
- Analyse horizontal reactions under varying and moving loads.
- Study influence lines, superposition, and lines of thrust.
- Construct bending moment diagrams and explore maximum bending moments in arches.

Unlock new levels of structural understanding with the Two-Pinned Arch experiment – the perfect addition to any engineering lab. Discover more at: https://www.tecquipment.com/two-pinned-arch-next-generation-structures

🌬️ Explore the phenomena of Boundary Layer with the Flat Plate Boundary Layer Model (AF1300F), a hands-on tool designed to demonstrate the development and separation of boundary layers, perfectly suited for use with the Subsonic Wind Tunnel (AF1300).

🛠️ The model features a flat plate that spans the full width of the wind tunnel’s working section, equipped with aerodynamically shaped blocks placed at various distances from the leading edge. Each block includes five tapping points that connect to flexible tubing, allowing students to measure stagnation pressure at different heights. This enables the exploration of velocity profiles and the growth of the boundary layer along the plate.

✈️ A hinged flap at the trailing edge allows for independent angle adjustments of both the plate and flap, providing students the ability to manipulate pressure distribution and boundary layer characteristics. Small surface tufts help visualise airflow around the plate, giving a clear view of how the boundary layer behaves under various conditions.

🎯 Key Learning Outcomes:
- Observe and measure boundary layer development and separation.
- Analyse velocity distribution and boundary layer growth along the plate.
- Experiment with pressure control through adjustable plate and flap configurations.
