SUMMARY

When applied loads act along a beam, an internal bending moment which varies from point to point along the axis of the beam is developed. A bending moment is an internal force that is induced in a restrained structural element when external forces are applied. Failure by bending will occur when loading is sufficient to introduce a bending stress greater than the yield stress of the material. Bending stress increases proportionally with bending moment. It is possible that failure by shear will occur before this, although while there is a strong relationship between bending moment and shear forces, the mechanics of failure are different.
A bending moment may be defined as “the sum of turning forces about that section of all external forces acting to one side of that section”. The forces on either side of

    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…

    Asymmetrical bending is bending couples acting in a plane of symmetric. If loads do not act in plane of symmetry, this leads to deflection in a plane perpendicular to the loading plane as well as in the loading plane. This coupling does not occur if the loading is in principal plane.…

    A tensile test was performed on a 4140 steel sample and the axial and transverse strains were measured. Data points were collected at incremental loads and graphed to determine the elastic modulus (30.4 x 106). Poisson’s ratio was also calculated from the dataset and determined to be 0.29. These experimental values agree closely (within 2%) to the textbook values of the steel sample. A sample of 7075 Aluminum was used in a cantilever beam test. Intermediate and end loads were place on the sample and the strain was measured at various distances from the loads. Using the dataset from the individual loads, the superposition strain was calculated and agreed within 7% of the experimental strain with both loads. From the measured deflection of the cantilever beam and the dataset, Young’s Modulus for the aluminum sample was determined to be 9.1x106 psi which agrees within 8% of the textbook value.…

    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.…

    The loading beam (Silicon Carbide) is lowered at 10mm per second onto the plate. The load is applied until the glass breaks against the two supports (also of Silicon Carbide). The values for maximum load and deflection are recorded from the apparatus. Steps 1-4 are repeated for ten different samples.

    Bending moment is a rotational force that occurs when force is applied at any place away from at any point perpendicularly. A bending moment will occur when a moment is applied to a system so that the system will bend. According to Hibbeler, beams develop different internal shear force and bending moment from one point to another along the axis of the beam due to applied loadings. A bending moment experiments may be vary according to experiments. The moment is calculated and measure as force times distance of the force applied to the pivot point. As a result, the bending moment will have newton-metres (N.m) as its unit.…

    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…
