Bending Stress in Beam

An inverted  T-beam is mounted between two simple supports on point contacts. The load onto the T-beam is applied using a screw jack mechanism with integral load cell. The load cell arrangement and supports create a three point loading.A number of precision strain gauges are accurately located on the T-beam specimen. The signals from the loading mechanism and strain gauges are fed directly into indicator.
