Experiment 1: Young’s Modulus
Introduction
The Young’s Modulus Apparatus is a bench-top model designed for students to understand and to determine Young’s Modulus of given material samples.
It consists of an epoxy coated steel reaction frame complete with a meter long linear scale. Two adjustable supports provide the variable span needed to perform the experiment. Stainless steel weights and hangers are provided for applying loading to the beams. One set of dial gauges to 0.01 mm resolution, complete with mounting brackets are employed for the measurement of the beam deflection. A theory and experiment Work Sheet is provided for students to follow the appropriate procedure of operation and computation.
Experimental Capabilities
1. To investigate the relationship between load, span width, height (depth) and deflection of a simply supported beam.
2. To ascertain the Coefficient of Elasticity (Young’s Modulus) for steel, brass and aluminium.
Accessories : Set of Stainless steel hanger and weights
Set of dial gauges (0.01 mm resolution)
Four leveling feet with built-in spirit level
Dimensions : 1050 x 400 x 300 mm
Weight : Approximately 50kg
Young’s Modulus
The elastic modulus is one of the most important properties involved in various aspects of material engineering for design purposes. Every material undergoes elastic deformation under actions.
Elastic deformation is mostly defined as temporary deformation of its physical shape and will be able to return to its original state upon removal of actions. For elastic deformation, the stress state of the material had not exceeded its elastic limit. Any deformation caused by further increases in load or stress beyond the yield point of a certain
