Features
Table unit for the demonstration of the relationship between load and deformation on a  bending bar 
Tesca Eccentrically Loaded Tie Apparatus This table unit is used to observe the  deformation of a bar under constant bending moment. The brass bending bar is positioned on two  bearings that are fitted to a base plate. At the ends of the bending bar are struts using which the  bending moment can be applied. The bending moments are generated using a set of weights and a  cord. The resulting bar deformation is measured using a position measurement gauge mounted on a  movable stand. It is possible to measure the deformation at any point between the bar bearings. The  unit is suitable both for laboratory use for student experiment, and for demonstrations performed by  the lecturer.
