SPECIFICATION

The experiment hardware is a simply supported beam 'cut by a pivot. The beam fixes to the Structures Test Frame. Students can apply loads at set positions using hangers holding various masses. To stop the beam collapsing. a moment arm bridges the cut onto a load cell thus reacting (and measuring) the bending moment force. A Digital Force Display should be provided which can displays forces during experiment.
Learning Outcomes

  •  Bending moment variation at the point of loading
  •  Variation of bending moment away from the point of loading
  •  Examination of various other loading cases. including loads traversing the beam
  •  Loads: 5 weight hangers and 150 x 10 g masses
  •  24 loading positions along the beam, 20 mm apart
  •  Electronic Load cell for force measurements
