 Shear force experiment

The Abstract:

This experiment mainly shows how the shear strength is equal in the
clip section of the package to the sum of the forces that operate on
the left or right side of the section section, through the application
of loads, the cutting section works on the same beam.

Introduction:

This experiment is about understanding the effect of change in force magnitude on

shear stresses produce in beam due to that force. this experiment is to determine the
value of experimental shear force acting on a beam and compare it to the value of
theoretical force acting on the same beam.

Objective:

Theory:

Shear force at section x-x is ;

1) S.F x-x = W1 +W2+W3-RA

OR
2) S.F x-x = RB

Procedure:

5. Put three hanger on a beam.

6. The beam was connected to the digital indicator.
7. switch on the indicator, For stability of the reading the indicator
must be switch on
10 minutes before taking readings.

Discussion :

-The first difference between pregnancy and shear strength is

directly proportional to an increase in pregnancy. There is an
increase in shear strength and with a decrease in pregnancy there is
a decrease in shear strength.

- The second difference is compared between experimental shear

force and theoretical shear force. This comparison showed a
significant difference between experimental shear strength and
theoretical shear strength. The actual difference is in experimental
values because they do not show the linear relationship between
loads and shear strength. This error is due to many reasons such as
a personal error due to an experienced agent or a wrong device.

Conclusion:

From this experience, we were able to determine how the shear

strength varies with the increased load point. It was also observed
how shear strength varies in the cutting position of the beam for
different loading conditions. From this laboratory experiment, it can
be concluded that when the load that we put in the beam is
increasing, the shear force will also increase. It is also proven that
the shear force in the cutting section is equal to the forces that work
on the left and right sides of the cutting section on the beam.

Bending moment experiment

The abstract:

In simple words the moment bending is a result of the force

applied to the with the distance between the application purpose
of force and the settled end of the beam

To determine the bending moment influence line when the beam

is subjected to a load moving from left to the right.

Objective:

Aim of this experiment is to study effect of force magnitude on

bending moment of beam

Introduction

The purpose of doing this experiment was to determine the bending
moment and shear force at any section through different cases
which involve concentrated load, symmetrical load and
unsymmetrical load. Besides, it also helps to establish the
relationship between bending moment and shear force at any
section.

1. First, we put the first 100 mm hanger from point A.

2. The second hanger is 200 mm from point A.
3. Alignment Two parts of the beam are adjusted to the spring
balance.
4. The initial load is zero or "no load".
5. Put on 15N on the first hanger.
6. 5N is placed on the second hanger.
7. The beam is aligned and the balance reading is recorded.

Discussion :
-All the data are appeared in the graphs and according to this graph the theoretical
bending moment shows a linear relationship with the load means the moment value of
the theoretical bending increases with the increase in the printed load value and
decreases with a decrease in the value of the applied load. The percentage at which
the increase and decrease in the theoretical bending moment value is equal to the
percentage in which there is an increase or decrease in the value of the applied load.

-The second diagram is between bending and load pressures yet the primary reason
for this chart is the theoretical and experimental comparison of the moment bending.
As indicated by there is almost no distinction between each of the esteem that
demonstrates the strength of the gadget and specialist's aptitudes. The distinction in
qualities contrasts somewhat from human mistake, which can not be thought little of
in light of constrained human limit.

conclusion:

Aim of this errand was to concentrate the impact of different forces

on the bending moment in the beam and the outcome demonstrate
that There is a linear fit between them between bending moment
and applied load.As the load is increased, the bending moment
increases too.
