SPECIFICATION

The experiment hardware is a simply supported beam with a 'cut'. The beam fits onto a Structures Test Frame. A mechanism bridges the cut, which stops the beam collapsing and allows movement in the shear direction only. An electronic load cell should be included to measures the force, and connects to a Digital Force Display.
Learning Outcomes

  •  Shear force variation with an increasing point load
  •  Variation of shear force for various loading conditions
  •  Examination of various other loading cases and their effect on shear force, including loads traversing the beam
  •  Loads: 5 weight hangers and 150 x 10 g masses
  •  24 loading positions along the beam, 20 mm apart
  •  Electronic Load cell for force measurements
