ABSTRACT The aim of doing this experiment is to compare the transverse bending deflection of the tie bar and the theoretical values that obtain from the simplified formula and the exact formula when the eccentricity of the load is 75m, 55mm and 35mm. The experimental values of the deflection of the tie are obtained by reading the results of dial gauge during the experiment.

1. INTRODUCTION Eccentric loading is the pressure directed anywhere on a component other than where the component is designed to accept the force. Sometimes the design of a mechanism or a structure demands that a tension member has to be offset from the line of the pull. This means that the member has

    The empirical formula also known as the chemical formula is the simplest molar combining ratio of elements in a compound. Thus, if to understand the behaviour of a chemical compound we must know its chemical formula. The molecular formula is the same as or a multiple of the empirical formula, and the actual number of atoms of each type in the compound. The ratio can be determined if the mass of the individual elements, in this case magnesium and oxygen, is known in a known mass of the compound. For example:…

    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 effect of eccentricity on the load carrying capacity of single angles was studied with the help of normalised load P/Py vs e/x0 curves for specimens S500 and S1100 under compression causing both major axis and minor axis bending as shown in Fig. 4. The ultimate load was normalised with yield strength of specimens, Py and eccentricity was normalised with x0, the distance of centroid of the angle cross section from shear centre.…
