SPECIFICATION

 Features:

 

  •   Part of a range of experiment modules for teaching structural principles
  •   Fits to the Structures platform for ergonomic use and space-saving storage
  •   Selectable beam fixing conditions with fully adjustable load and deflection measurement positions
  •   Includes beams of various materials and cross-sections for comparing Young’s modulus and Second Moment of Area (‘I’ value)
  •   High-resolution digital deflection indicator for accurate measurements
  •   Includes Vernier caliper for cross-section measurements
  •   Supplied with a storage tray to keep smaller items safe
  •   Compatible with user-friendly VDAS® software

 

Learning Outcomes:

 

  •   Application of the beam bending formula and understanding structural stiffness
  •   Deflection due to point loads and uniformly distributed loads (UDLs)
  •   Influence of beam fixings on deflection:
  •   Simply supported beams
  •   Fixed or ‘encastre’ beams
  •   Cantilever beams
  •   Propped cantilevers
  •   Shape of a deflected beam
  •   Influence of beam length, material, and cross-section on deflection
  •   Elastic (Young’s) modulus comparison
  •   Second Moment of Area (‘I’ value) analysis
  •   Pure bending in a beam
