Beams of different materials: steel, brass and aluminium

Description:

• Beams are important design elements in mechanical engineering and building construction that can deform under load.
• Beams are subjected to load transversely in the axial direction, which leads to deflection.
• In linear–elastic material behaviour, the bending line, also known as elastic line, is used to determine the deflection of beams.
• Deflection can be determined at any point on the beam using the influence coefficients and Maxwell–Betti’s commutative theory.
• The SE 110.14unit is used to determine the deformation of a bending beam.
• To do this, a beam is studied under varying loads, different support conditions and static indeterminacy.
• The elastic line is determined by calculation and verified by experiment.
• The experimental setup includes three beams made of different materials.
• Two pinned supports and one fixed support with clamp are available.
• The dial gauges record the resulting deformation of the beam.
• The parts of the experiment are clearly laid out and securely housed in a storage system.
• The entire experimental setup is constructed in the SE 112mounting frame.
