    OBJECTIVE: To Measure The Bending Moment at A: Normal Section of A Loaded Beam and To Check Its Agreement With Theory

    The document describes an experiment to measure the bending moment at a section of a loaded beam and compare it to theoretical calculations. A beam is cut into two pieces and rejoined using ball bearings, allowing an underslung spring balance to provide resistance and measure the bending moment as various loads are applied. Adjusting the spring balance brings each beam section back to a horizontal position, where the bending moment force can then be recorded and compared to theoretical predictions.

    OBJECTIVE: To measure the bending moment at a

    normal section of a loaded beam and to check its


    agreement with theory.

    Introduction: A length of material supported horizontally and carrying vertical loads is called
    a beam. The loading causes bending and transverse shearing. The loads and reactions are the 'external' forces
    acting on the beam. They must be in equilibrium. However, the strength of the beam depends on 'internal'
    forces or moments. This experiment demonstrates the nature of these internal forces and their dependence on
    the external system of forces.

    The experimental beam has been cut into two parts


    and joined together by a pair of low friction precision
    ball bearings. An underslung spring balance provides a
    resisting moment, and also allows the section bending
    moment to be measured. When load is applied to the
    beams the spring balance is adjusted by means of a
    thumb knob so that each beam is brought to a
    horizontal resting position. The bending moment force
    can then be recorded.

    A hinged metal strip (HFC5a) to simulate the loading pattern of panelled girder for a more advanced
    experiment on influence lines is optionally available.
