SPECIFICATION

TECHNICAL SPECIFICATION:

  • Fits to the Structures platform for ergonomic use
  • Unique beam cut and load cell system for an accurate measurement of shear force
  • Includes multiple loads for many combinations of loads including uniformly distributed loads (UDLs)
  • Should be supplied a storage tray to keep smaller items safe,
  • Works with user-friendly software VDAS
  • Direct reading of shear force at the cut for quick and simple experiments
  • User can apply loads to hangers suspended along the beam, held between two supports One support allows rotational movement only, acting as a pinned support. The other support allows translational movement, acting as roller support
  • Includes a uniformly distributed load (UDL) that may be applied across the span of the beam for comparison of results with a single point load
  • The load cell connects to the USB Interface Hub of the Structures Platform for computer display and data acquisition 

Learning Outcomes:

  • Shear force at the cut due to a varying single point load, Shear force at the cut due to a moving single point load
  • Shear force at the cut due to a uniformly distributed load
  • Influence lines and superposition,

Items Included:,

  • Two supports, holding a beam of 0.8 m length and 0.5 m span
  • Shear force load cell built into the centre span of the beam
  • Cable, Four mass hangers, 50 x 20 g masses, Two UDL bars, Storage tray, Comprehensive user guide
