Product Summary
PASCO's flexible I-Beam Set allows you to explore the concept of structural failure in dramatic fashion. By replacing any I-beam in a structure with one of the flexible I-beams you can observe the effect of a load that causes deformation. And while these I-beams are designed to demonstrate stress and failure they return to their original shape once the load is removed.
The flexible I-beams are available as part of the Advanced Structures Set (ME-6992A) or can be purchased separately to add functionality to any existing Structures Set.
