Deflection Of Beams Apparatus

Deflection Of Beams Apparatus .
Deflection Of Beams Apparatus                                     Features Rigid base and supports Choice of end conditions  a) knife edge  b) built-in Beams or cantilevers Deflection and slope measurable Three year warranty   Range of Experiments Verification of beam deflection formula Deflection and slope of beams and cantilevers Verification of both area - moment theorems   Description The bench mounted apparatus has a heavy steel base with a fixed support at one end and a moveable support at the other. The supports can be fitted with knife edges or clamp plates one of which permits horizontal movement for an encastre beam. A steel beam and two load hangers are supplied together with two dial gauges for measuring beam deflections and slopes. This equipment is part of a range designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles. Great care has been given to each item so as to provide wide experimental scope without unduly complicating or compromising the design. Each piece of apparatus is self-contained and compact. Setting up time is minimal, and all measurements are made with the simplest possible instrumentation, so that the student involvement is purely with the engineering principles being taught. A complete instruction manual is provided describing the apparatus, its application, experimental procedure and typical test results
