Measurement of deflections and rotations for alternative sets of loads and moments at reciprocal locations on a beam
Description
The
model is built on a pressed steel base with plastic piers that support a
single span flexible steel beam on swivelling bearings which can
accommodate horizontal movement while enabling external moments to be
applied and measured. An inserted locking pin makes a fixed end.
Rotation of the beam at the support is shown by a large coloured pointer
moving across a dual scale, the coarse one being readily seen at 10 m
distance. Dual deflection scales on adjustable vertical posts enable
displacements to be measured and seen at 10 m distance. The set of
weights needed for the experiment is included.
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.
