    Deflection of Curved Members
    Aim of the experiment: To determine the elastic displacement of the curved members experimentally
    and verification of the same by theoretical results.
    Apparatus required: Various curved members, viz. quadrant of a circle, semicircle with straight arm,
    quadrant of a circle with straight arm and circle, dial gauge, weights, scale and etc.
    Theory: Castigliano's first theorem is used to find the elastic displacements of curved members.
    Theorem states that the partial derivative of the total strain energy of a linearly elastic structure
    expressed in terms of displacements with respect to any displacement j at coordinate j is equal to the
    force Pj at coordinate j. The theorem may be expressed symbolically as
    U
    Pj
    j
    In all cases the horizontal B,horizontal and vertical deflection B,vertical due to vertical load W are to be
    determined. These deflections are obtained by using Castigliano's first theorem where strain energy
    due to bending only is taken into account. The results obtained for the four curved members is given
    as below a) Quadrant of a circle
    Fixed at A and free at B (having radius R) and subjected to a concentrated load W at free
    end.

    Procedure:
    1. Place a load on the hanger to activate the member and treat this as the initial position for
    measuring deflections.
    2. Fix the dial gauges for measuring horizontal and vertical deflections.
    3. Place the additional loads at the steps mentioned in the table below for each case and tabulate
    the values of dial gauge reading against the applied loads.
    4. Plot the graph load Vs deflection for each case to show that the structure remains within the
    elastic limit.
    5. Measure the value of R and straight length in each case. Find width and depth of
    steel section and calculate the value of I as bd3/12.
