Study simulators in classrooms of elastic deformations in trusses in metal structure

Abstract

This project was created from a practical approach in the study of fundamental theoretical concepts to understand the elastic behavior of truss-like structures, based on the properties of the materials with which it is built. The proposal focused on offering the possibility to compare real results with theoretical results, by measuring loads and deformations through precision instruments in models of selected trusses. Based on this, different tests are formulated that will facilitate and enrich the study of the analysis of structures in the classroom, specifically in the field of trusses. The methodology used to develop this project is of the experimental descriptive type, under a quantitative approach developed through the technique of systematization of observation and the trial-error method.
