Lab #3: beam bending: march 8 and 15, 2011 14:30-17:30 @ pse 133. Case 1: beam is supported at both ends and single load at the centre: first find the length (l) of the beam using metre scale. Then: measure width (w) and thickness (h) of the beams using vernier callipers, find moment of inertia of the beam cross section using formula, complete the observations for case1 using two masses for each beam. Aluminum: use plotting software to generate a plot between the variation amount of deflection(y) at different positions from the load(x) and compare it with the observed values from the experiment and the expected values from the calculations. Case 2: beam is supported at one end and load is applied at the other. Repeat the procedure as in case 1 and fill your observations in the following table.
