Shear Force And Bending Moment Teaching Equipment Mechanical Experiment Equipment

I.Overview
This equipment is for mechanical engineering department or mechanics engineering department in university, it’s for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Solid Mechanics major and other mechanics related department.
This equipment is used for measurement of shear force and bending moment in a beam from which comparison with theoretical values can be made. It is to be used with Universal Base Frame.
The beam has two parts with one part having ball bearings travel on vertical surface of the other part, an overhung spring balance for measuring the shear force and an underhung spring balance for measuring bending moment are provided. The beam rests on two round supports. Load hangers and weights slide along the beam.
Instruction manual is also included.

II.Typical Experiments
Visual demonstration of the Shear Force and Bending Moment at a cut section in a beam
Variation in bending moment for variations in load, load position and load arrangement
Comparison of experimental results with theoretical values and bending moment diagrams
