About This Product
A beam under load bends, and its deflection depends on the load, where it is applied and how the ends are held. In the lab, students apply known moments at the ends and vertical loads at points along the beam, and read the deflection on a dial gauge. The readings can then be compared with values from elastic beam theory in strength of materials and structural mechanics courses.
