OBJECTIVE

The purpose of this assignment is to experimentally and analytically determine shear forces and bending moments when an external load is applied in various scenarios. In turn, we aim to investigate the relative accuracy of such comparisons taking into considerations possible practical applications and possible attributes to the error. Additionally, we attempt to develop shear force and bending moment diagrams using MATLAB. Finally we investigate the loadings in a real life situation to provide an analysis of the overall load structure.

METHOD

❖ In the practical experiment we applied various loads in different situations to obtain experimental readings for both shear force and bending moments at a given point.

❖ During the procedure it was important to ensure that the experiment components were properly aligned. This included ensuring the four corners of the apparatus were flushed on the table and that the right and left arms were horizontally aligned.

❖ Moreover, we zeroed the dial gauge before each experiment to maximise the accuracy of the reading.

❖ We then applied the loads in various situations: Concentrated Single Load, Concentrated Double Loads and Moving Double Loads

    Deflections of a beam are important to be able predict the amount of deflection for a given loading situation. This experiment addresses determining the yield point for a material to fail, so the stress in the material does not have to reach to that point. This is where understanding beam deflection becomes a useful tool. This experiment is using beam deflection theory to evaluate and compare observed deflection per load values to theoretical values. Beam deflection experiment done by four parts. Part 1 -Simple Supported Bean, part 2-Cantilever Beam, part 3-The Principle of Superposition, and Part 4-Maxwell’s Reciprocity Theorem. For part 1 and 2 beam dimensions were recorded and are moment of inertia (I) was calculated using the following formula I=bh3/12.for part1, maximum permissible loads for mid-span and quarter-span were calculated. For part 2 maximum permissible loads for mid-span and end of the cantilever beam were calculated. For both parts different loads were applied and deflections were recorded. After calculating average modulus of elasticity for simple supported beam, which was approximately (-27.6*10^6 psi), it was compared to modulus of elasticity chart. The result indicates that the beam simple supported beam was made of Wrought iron. For cantilever beam, average modulus of elasticity were calculated, which was approximately (9148056.3), and compared with young’s modulus chart .the result indicate that cantilever beam was made of Aluminum. Part 3 reference point was chosen, single concentrated load at other point was applied and deflection was recorded at reference point. Same procedure was applied at another point on the beam and deflection was recorded at reference point. Finally, both loads were applied and deflection was recorded at the…

    First of all, values of deflections (δv, δh) were calculated for various head angles and loads as shown in Table 1-8. These deflection values were plotted against Load and gradients of the graphs of δv/W and δh/W were found out for various angles as shown in Figure 1-8 and stored in table 9. A graph was plotted between δv/W and δh/W which results in a circle. From the circle, values of offset and radius were used to calculate Principal second moments of area and orientation of principal axes.…

    An investigation into beam bending and superposition. Being able to analyse how beams bend is an essential tool for all engineers. By using mathematics and material properties, engineers are able to compute structural deformation thus verifying a structures fitness for use. In this experiment a simply supported beam of aluminium is loaded with point forces in three different cases. A clock gauge is positioned in the middle of the beam to measure the deflection. The results of a complex arrangement of forces can be deduced by the superposition of more simple cases. Superposition is possible only when the response of the structure is linear, e.g. when deflection is directly proportional to the applied load. Also the experimental and theoretical deflections of the beam will be compared and a percentage error obtained. There was a second test performed in this investigation demonstrating the influence the 2nd moment of area, also known as the second moment of inertia, had on the load carrying capacity of the beam. The results from test 1 show that it is possible to deduce the deflection of the beam when loaded with point forces by superposition. Results from test 2 show that the deflection of a beam is influenced greatly by its moment of inertia, i.e. with a greater value of inertia there is a smaller deflection.…

    Beam Deflection

    The primary goal of the experiment was to determine the structural stiffness of two cantilevered beams composed of steel and aluminum while maintaining both beams at a constant thickness and cross sectional area. The experiment also investigated material properties and dimensions and their relationship to structural stiffness. The experiment was divided into two separate parts. The results for the first part of the experiment were obtained by clamping the beam at one end while applying different masses at a specified length across the beam and then measuring deflection. The measuring device was set a specified distance from the clamped end. The following procedure was employed for both the steel and aluminum beam. The second part of the experiment required placing a single known mass at various lengths across the supported beam and then measuring the resulting deflection. This method was only completed for the steel beam. The deflections from both parts of the experiment were then averaged independently to ascertain final conclusions. The first part of the experiment resulted in a much greater deflection for the aluminum beam, with its greatest deflection spanning to an average of 2.8 mm. Moreover, the deflection for the steel beam was much less, concluding that steel has a larger structural stiffness. In fact, the structural stiffness that was found for steel was 3992 N/m, compared to aluminum, which was 1645 N/m. In addition, the theoretical values of structural stiffness for steel and aluminum were calculated to be 1767.9 N/m and 5160.7 N/m, respectively. There was a large error between the theoretical and experimental values for steel, close to 29%. This could have been due to human error, or a defective beam. The second part of the experiment resulted in validating the fact that the values of deflection are proportional to length cubed. It was also determined that deflection is inversely proportional to the elastic modulus and that structural…

    The procedure for this lab is done in three parts. In the first part, we began by measuring the initial position of the mass hanger with 200g from a spring attached to a support stand. Next, data for position and mass were recorded for each 100 gram weight that was added to the hanger up to a total of 700 grams. Data was recorded again with the removal of each 100 gram weight for uncertainty purposes. The data was entered in Graphical Analysis and graph for displacement vs. elastic force was created.…

    In this experiment, we used a Digital Force Display (DFD), to observe the failure mode of buckling, of five slender aluminium elements. We used de DFD to put load on the elements in compression, starting with the longest one, and kept putting on load until there were no further increase in the load. We repeated this for each of the five slender aluminium elements four times.…

    Fig. 4 shows that specimens subjected to minor axis bending failed at considerably lower load than those subjected to major axis bending. Rate of reduction of ultimate load is more pronounced in the case of minor axis bending. For example, the rate of reduction of ultimate load for S500 specimen, when e/xo increases from 0 to 2.8, is 5.7% and 56% for the specimen subjected to major axis bending and minor axis bending respectively. The corresponding rate of reduction of strength for S1100 specimens are 6.15% and 23.8% respectively. At larger eccentricity ratios (from 1.4 to 2.1), the curves become flatter…
