Area Moment Method

Description of Area Moment Method

The Area Moment Method equipment is used for verification of the deflections and slopes of a beam by area-moment method. Area Moment Method is to be used with Universal Structural Frame. The beam has two moment supports with a knife edge. The support allows longitudinal travel of the beam. Each support has a rotating arm. The arm rotation is monitored by a dial indicator. The moment is applied and measured by load on the rotating arm. The beam deflection is measured by a dial indicator.
