Next Generation Structures products are bench structural engineering learning machines which demonstrate how beams, trusses, frames, arches and portals react when loads are applied to them. Civil, mechanical and architectural engineering degree courses in universities, polytechnics and TVET colleges make use of them for practical lessons on bending, deflection, static determinacy and structural reactions. Educational Instrument manufactures and exports this range from Goregaon, Mumbai, India for institutional and tender supply worldwide.

The range is built around the Structures Platform — a desktop unit designed for easy assembly that speeds up and simplifies experiment setup — with individual experiment modules covering beam bending and stress, truss and pin-jointed framework analysis, frame deflections, two-pinned arches, curved structures and davits, and plastic bending of beams and portals. Students physically apply loads and measure the resulting forces, moments, and deflections, connecting structural theory to observed behaviour.

What are Next Generation Structures products used for?

They are used to teach and verify core structural analysis topics by experiment: bending moments and bending stress, beam deflection, support reactions, sway in frames, arch behaviour, truss member forces, and plastic (beyond-elastic) bending. Each module isolates one topic so students can compare measured results with hand calculations.

Typical experiments in this range include loading hangers suspended along a beam held between two supports (Bending Moments in a Beam), measuring mid-span force with a load cell (Bending Stress in a Beam), and reading horizontal sway at the beam–upright junction with a precision indicator (Frame Deflections and Reactions). This measure-and-compare workflow suits laboratory courses where students must validate structural theory rather than only observe demonstrations.

Do these experiments need a separate base unit?

The range includes a Structures Platform designed to fit on any standard desktop and to make experiment assembly faster and simpler. Individual experiment modules — beams, trusses, frames, arches, and portal units — are listed alongside it in the same category.

Because the platform is desktop-format, institutions can run structural experiments without dedicated heavy test frames or special floor space, which suits teaching labs with limited room. Confirm module–platform pairing for your intended experiment list when requesting a quote; configuration details and full specifications are available on request.

Which beam experiments does the range include?

Five beam-focused modules are available. Simply Supported Beam has students add loads to a rigid beam resting on two 'simple' supports — the entry-level statics experiment. Bending Moments in a Beam uses load hangers suspended along a supported beam. Bending Stress in a Beam measures applied mid-span force with a load cell.

For more advanced coursework, Continuous and Indeterminate Beams covers statically indeterminate beam structures and measurable beam deflection, while Plastic Bending of Beams lets students fit a specimen beam between two supports with a choice of fixing methods to study behaviour beyond the elastic limit. Together the five modules take a cohort from basic support reactions through indeterminate analysis to plastic theory.

What truss, frame, and arch apparatus is available?

For trusses and frameworks, the Redundant Truss module teaches analysis of statically determinate and indeterminate truss structures built from members joined at their ends, and Pin-Jointed Frameworks has students apply a load and measure the resulting member forces and deflection. For frames and arches, Frame Deflections and Reactions measures horizontal sway with a precision indicator, and the Two-Pinned Arch uses one fixed pin plus one translational (roller-type) support to demonstrate arch reactions.

The category also covers Curved Structures and Davits, where students fix the lower end of a choice of curved bars and davits to a fixing plate, Plastic Bending of Portals for portal-frame plastic theory, and a Suspended Beam Bridge model for bridge-structure teaching.

Frequently asked questions

What is included in the Next Generation Structures product range?

The range includes 13 items: a desktop Structures Platform plus experiment modules for simply supported beams, bending moments, bending stress, continuous and indeterminate beams, plastic bending of beams and portals, redundant trusses, pin-jointed frameworks, frame deflections and reactions, two-pinned arches, curved structures and davits, and a suspended beam bridge.

Who manufactures and exports these structures products?

Educational Instrument manufactures and exports the range from its works at 750, Industrial Estate, Sonawala Cross Road No. 2, Goregaon, Mumbai, Maharashtra 400063, India. The company states it has produced educational laboratory equipment since 1957 and supplies institutions in 82+ countries through its distributor network (manufacturer-stated figures).

Which courses and institutions is this equipment suited to?

It suits civil engineering, mechanical engineering, and architecture programmes at universities, engineering colleges, polytechnics, and TVET institutes, as well as research and industrial training facilities teaching structural analysis. The desktop platform format is intended for standard teaching-lab benches.

Can students measure results, or are these demonstration-only models?

Students measure results directly. Modules in the range use load hangers, a load cell at mid-span (Bending Stress in a Beam), and a precision indicator for horizontal sway (Frame Deflections and Reactions), so learners apply loads and record forces and deflections rather than only watch demonstrations.

Do you cover both determinate and indeterminate structures?

Yes. The Redundant Truss module covers statically determinate and indeterminate truss analysis, and the Continuous and Indeterminate Beams module addresses statically indeterminate beam structures with measurable deflection, alongside determinate experiments such as the Simply Supported Beam.
