Name: Thilakkumar V Date: 22.11.2021 ________________________________________________________________________________ _ Experiment 10: Deflection of Simply Supported Beam
AIM: To conduct a deflection test on a simply supported beam and to find modulus of elasticity and flexural rigidity.
APPARATUS: Loading Bar, Meter Scale, Vernier Scale, Deflectometer
FORMULA: 3 11W l Young’s Modulus (E) = N/mm2 768 I Flexural Rigidity (K) = EI N/mm2 W = Load (N) l = Length of beam (mm) = deflection (mm) I = moment of inertia (mm4)
PROCEDURE: Length, breadth, and thickness of the beam has been measured using metric scale. Deflectometer has been arranged at the bottom of the beam at one fourth the length of the support. Load has been applied at the center of the beam with weights of 0.5, 1, 2 …5 kg. Readings of the deflection has been taken from the deflectometer and tabulated. Young’s Modulus has been calculated for each of the reading and average was found. Graph was drawn with deflection on X-axis and load on Y-axis. From graph (w/ ) was noted and Young’s Modulus and Flexural rigidity has been noted down.
OBSERVATION: (STEEL) Length of beam (l) = 1000 mm Breadth of beam (b) = 50 mm Thickness of beam (t) = 10 mm
