Deflection of Beam & Cantilivers
EXPERIMENT
- Measure beam deflections for point and uniformly distributed loads.
- Calculate the Young's Modulus of beam material.
- Apply various end fixing conditions to a beam, including simply supported, cantilever.
- Vary the support span for the beam.
Two support brackets fix into the Frame and Stand allowing the support of beams along their length and at different spans. Each support bracket comes supplied with point contacts or clamp plates to enable simply supported, cantilever, propped cantilever. Cantilevers can be created using one of the supports fitted with a clamp.Digital dial gauge, mounted on moveable stands measure beam deflection and slope. Beam is supported and then loaded using the beam clamps, hangers and calibrated weights provided. Point and uniformly distributed loads can be applied to the beam using the weights and hangers supplied.
