Beam Apparatus

Product Description

Experiments Verification of the bending equation Determination of flexural rigidity and elastic modulus (Youngs modulus)Verification of static equilibriumDeflection of beams on two simple supports with point loadsReciprocal properties for loads and deflectionSimple and propped cantilevers with any loadingContinuous beams statically indeterminate cases for simply supported beams and cantilevers on more than two supports with any loading (including measurement of unknown reactionsSimply supported and cantilever beams with sinking supportsWith the Specimen Beams, these additional experiments can be done: The effects of material and section shape on flexural rigidityBending characteristics of a brass/steel compound beam, with and without shearing connection between the two layersEquivalent sections characteristics of a metal-faced wooden beamDeflections on a non-uniform (tapered) beam or cantilever Technical Operating Conditions Operating environment: LaboratoryStorage temperature range: 25C to +55C (when packed for transport)Operating temperature range: +5C to +40COperating relative humidity range: 80% at temperatures < 31C decreasing linearly to 50% at 40C
