Combined Shear Force and Bending Moment apparatus

Combined Shear Force and Bending Moment apparatus

• To be part of a range of experiments designed to both demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles
• To observe the action of shear force and bending moment at a section in a beam and to compare the measured and theoretical values
• To comprehend the action of shear and moment of resistance in a beam
• To consist of 2 simple supports; a rigid aluminium alloy beam cut into two unequal lengths, with a frictionless hinge at the joint which permits minimal vertical movement, whilst allowing bending
• Analogue spring balance measures direct force at the ‘cut’ section
• Moment lever arm mechanism allows bending moment to be calculated
• Multiple load positions achievable
• To be bench top mounted
• Set of slotted weights included
