Elastic Properties of Deflected Beam Apparatus


Apparatus consists of a mild steel beam about 2.5cm x 3mm in cross section and 100cm long, pinned to two supports 70cm apart situated symmetrically.One of the ends can be fixed or given a known slope by applying a known moment at the end with the help of suspended loads. At the other end also a known moment can be applied. Vertical loads can be applied at various points along the span of the beam. A dial gauge with 25mm travel (with a magnetic base) is supplied with the apparatus. Apparatus is supplied complete with a supporting stand and a set of weights
