Product Code:
SCI-EDU580001
Description:
Bending Stress In a Beam with Data Acquisition
Specification:
An experimental apparatus to investigate the stresses and strains within
a structure in relation to bending loads.
The experiment hardware is a T-beam that fits onto a Structures Test
Frame.
The equipment includes a lead for connection to the Digital Force
Display.
Students adjust a load cell that bends the beam and, when connected to
the optional Digital Force Display, it measures the bending force.
Strain gauges and a digital strain bridge measure the strains in the
beam.
Dummy strain gauges compensate for temperature variation and balance the
strain bridges.
The Operation Manual provides details of the equipment including sample
experiment results.
The Operation Manual describes how to use the equipment and gives
experiment procedures.
Key features:
High-quality structures Training module for students of mechanical,
civil and structural engineering
Realistic and verifiable experiment results
Allows safe and practical experiments into bending stress in a beam
Optional Structures Software package for extra ‘virtual’ experiments
that simulate and confirm the results from your hardware and allow
extended experiments
Optional unit including Structures Software package for automatic data
acquisition and virtual experiments.
