MPO Устройство портальной рамы

The Portal Frame Unit, "MPO", designed by EDIBON, allows for precise measurements of vertical and horizontal deflection in an embedded rectangular portal frame. By applying various loads with specific weights, changes in the portal frame’s structure can be observed and recorded, providing crucial data on its behavior under different loading conditions.

This unit significantly enhances the knowledge of both students and teachers in the field of structural engineering. For students, it offers a hands-on experience of how loads affect structures, helping to solidify theoretical concepts learned in class. For teachers, the "MPO" serves as an educational resource that facilitates the demonstration of complex principles in a clear and tangible manner, making the teaching process more interactive and effective.

The "MPO" has been designed with a robust structure and specific components that allow detailed and precise observation of deflections. The main structure of the unit is an embedded rectangular portal frame, which simulates real-life situations where a structure must withstand various loads. The rectangular shape allows for the application of loads at different points to observe how stresses are distributed.

To perform deflection tests, the unit is equipped with hooks and a pulley. Applying weights to the central hook induces vertical deflection in the portal frame. If the weights are applied through the pulley, the observed deflection is horizontal. This system allows users to simulate different load scenarios and study their effects.

This unit includes two dial indicators that precisely measure the produced deflections. These devices are essential for quantifying deflections and analyzing the obtained data, providing a solid foundation for understanding how structures behave under load. Each component of the "MPO" has been carefully designed to offer a comprehensive educational experience, allowing students to firsthand experience the principles of structural engineering and improving their ability to solve complex problems in this field.
