Title: Shear Force and Bending Moment

Objective:

 1. To determine the bending moment and shear force at any section.

  2. To establish relationship between bending moment and shear force at any section.

Apparatus and Materials:

Shear forces apparatus :- 1 set of 80mm x 50mm x 38mm aluminium section with 2 adjustable span support, 1 unit of shear force dynamometer, 2 sets of weight hangers, 1 set of weights and 2m measuring tape.

Procedure:

Shear force and bending moment experiment for concentrated load

1. The 2 edge supports on the base of the structural test frame is set up at a distance of 810mm from edge to edge.
2. The shear force apparatus is placed on the apparatus.
3. The beam is horizontally aligned by adjusting the screws.
4. The weight hanger is placed in the centre of the beam
5. The screws are adjusted to repeat horizontal beam alignment.
6. The shear force and bending moment dynamometers is became zero.
7. The weights are placed as given in table below and he shear force and bending moment values is noted.
8. When placing each weight make sure horizontal beam alignment is carried out and the dynamometers are zeroed.
9. The percentage error for each set of reading is calculated.

Shear force and bending moment experiment for symmetrical load

1. 1. The 2 edge supports on the base of the structural test frame is set up at a distance of 810mm from edge to edge.
2. The shear force apparatus is placed on the support.
3. The beam is horizontally aligned by adjusting the screws.
4. The weight hanger is placed at a distance of 60mm from the supports.
5. The screws are adjusted to repeat horizontal beam alignment.
6. The shear force and bending moment dynamometers is became zero.
7. The weights are placed as given in table below and the shear force and bending moment values is noted.
8. When placing each weight make sure horizontal beam alignment is carried out and the dynamometers are zeroed.
9. The percentage error for each set of reading is calculated.
