Description and Specification for Lab Tenders
Deflection of Beams Apparatus.
Description:
An experimental apparatus to investigate deflection and stability of beam and cantilever structures.
The experiment hardware consists of a backboard that fixes to the Structures Test Frame. Test beams fitted the backboard using a rigid clamp and knife-edge supports. Students apply loads at any position using hangers holding various masses. Mounted on a trammel, a digital deflection indicator traverses the beam. The indicator measures beam deflection. Scales on the backboard show the position of the indicator, the loads and supports.
The Operation Manual provides details of the equipment including sample experiment results. The Operation Manual describes how to use the equipment and gives experiment procedures.
