Bending Moment Apparatus

Bending Moment Apparatus

Specification

The long and short sections of the teak wood beam are connected by hinge. A spring balance with adjusting screw mounted at a fixed distance enables one to calculate the bending moment for any load position. Another special attachment with an adjustable screw is also provided. This along with a spring balance and its adjustable screw is used for determining the shear force at the hinge section.
SPECIFICATIONS:
1. Beam – 1 mtr. span with supports.
2. Bending moment measurement arrangement .
3. Shear force measurement arrangement.
4. Spirit level to restore the loaded beam to original position.
5. Weight set with loading hangers.
RANGE OF EXPERIMENTS:
1) Determination of shear force for different loading conditions.
2) Determination of bending moment for different loading conditions.
3) Influence line diagram for bending moment & shear force.
The technical manual accompanies the unit.
