Deflection of Beam Apparatus

A bench mounted beam apparatus to allow students to investigate the deflections and reactions in simply supported and cantilevered beams

The bench mounted apparatus has a steel base with support at ends. The supports can be fitted with knife edges or clamp plates. A steel beam and two load hangers are supplied together with two dial gauges for measuring beam deflections and slopes. This equipment is part of a ranged to both, demonstrate and experimentally confirm basic engineering principles.
