Unsymmetrical Cantilever Apparatus- Engineering Lab Training Systems.
Technical Description
On this benchtop unit, the arrangement
of the beam specimens on their side enables the experimental set-up to
be clearly seen. By observing the beam from the front, the bending of
the beam can be easily observed. The interchangeable beams of U, L and I
section are clamped at one end in a solid support and the angular
position indicated on a graduated disc. A point load is applied to the
free end using a set of weights. The locating bolts facilitate a 25mm
offset of the application of force for generating a combined
torsion/bending load. This is necessary for investigating the shear
centre. Dial gauges measure the deflection of the end of the beam.
Precise zeroing is possible using adjustment bolts.
