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.
