The purpose of this assignment is to experimentally and analytically determine shear forces and bending moments when an external load is applied in various scenarios. In turn‚ we aim to investigate the relative accuracy of such comparisons taking into considerations possible practical applications and possible attributes to the error. Additionally‚ we attempt to develop shear force and bending moment diagrams using MATLAB. Finally we investigate the loadings in a real life situation to provide

Lab #5: Refraction of Light Theory: Refraction can be defined as the bending of a wave when it enters a medium which causes it to have some reduced speed. In terms of light‚ refraction occurs when the ray passes through some medium which slows its speed; such as water or glass. In this instance the ray tends to bend towards the normal of the medium. The amount of bending or refraction which occurs can be calculated using Snell’s Law (). Objective: To measure the index of refraction of Lucite

a load of 1.5 tonnes along I-beam of 4 metres long. The research that we did was mainly on existing trolley cranes and the configurations of these cranes which allowed us to familiarize ourselves with what the crane does and how it works. The way that the crane operates is by having a person pull a chain. This chain is connected to a drive shaft which in turn is connected to a pinion and two wheels. These wheels allow the crane to move horizontally along the I-beam whilst sustaining a load.

Bridge Design Questions Question 1 Design Element: The first design element we used was our horizontal deck design. We took 11 sticks‚ placed them side by side horizontally so the length would be equivalent to the edge of the plate. After that we glued and pressed down two sticks on each side on each end and made five of those

“Mirage: An optical effect that is sometimes seen at sea‚ in the desert‚ or over a hot pavement‚ that may have the appearance of a pool of water or a mirror in which distant object are seen inverted‚ and that is caused by the bending or reflection of rays of light by a layer of heated air of varying density.”(Merriarn-Webster’s Medical Dictionary) Imagine yourself walking alone in the desert‚ you haven’t drink any water for a long time‚ you were tired‚ thirsty and exhausted. Suddenly‚ there was

Testing Lab Report Introduction Objective measurement is a scientific way to get a good understand about some basic properties of fabric. In this lab‚ FAST system can provide the accurate measurement to show compression‚ extension‚ bending and stability of fabric. The aim of this test is to predict how a fabric will perform when made up into a garment. For fabric manufactures‚finishers and garment manufacturers‚ they can use the results of this test as a basis to do fabric specification‚

localized cracking without collapse or discontinuity or total separation in a component. At failure‚ critical sections for plastic hinges are located at the midspan of beams or under the concentrated load where deflection or bending moment is highest. It can also be at a support where shear force‚ reaction‚ or negative bending moment is the highest. Failures are encountered on construction sites and are not just confined to the collapse of structures. Deaths and injuries to construction workers
