SPECIFICATION

Experimental Capabilities

This apparatus is designed to facilitate the practical investigation and demonstration of shear forces in beams subjected to various loading conditions. The following experiments can be conducted:

  • Shear Force at a Cut – Varying Single Point Load:
    Observe and measure the shear force generated at a section of the beam due to a changing single concentrated load.

  • Shear Force at a Cut – Moving Single Point Load:
    Analyze how the shear force varies along the length of the beam as a concentrated load moves across its span.

  • Shear Force at a Cut – Uniformly Distributed Load (UDL):
    Evaluate the shear force distribution resulting from a load spread evenly along a portion of the beam.

  • Influence Lines and Superposition:
    Study the principles of influence lines and examine the effect of multiple loads using superposition methods.

Applications

  • Primary Use: Ideal for engineering education and laboratory use in civil and mechanical engineering programs.

  • Key Purpose: Supports the visualization of shear force concepts and validates theoretical calculations.
