Bending Flat Beams

Virtual Lab: Bending of Flat Beams

PURPOSE: Simulation performance of laboratory works on general physics.

OBJECTIVE: Measurement of deformation of flat beams supported at both ends and determination of modulus of elasticity.

SUMMARY: A flat, level beam’s resistance to deformation in the form of bending by an external force can be calculated mathematically if the degree of deformation is much smaller than the length of the beam. The deformation is proportional to the modulus of elasticity E of the material from which the beam is made. In this experiment, the deformation due to a known force is measured and the results are used to determine the modulus of elasticity for both steel and aluminium.
