Description
This set of equipment covers the needs of students studying torsion, stress and strain, elastic constants, Young’s Modulus and more. Students use the storable work panel (included) to construct a range of experiments, which allow you to study a full course in material principles. A full 10-hour workbook is included free of charge in the Learning Centre for this kit.
