Statics observes the effect of forces on a rigid body, ignoring any possible deformations which may occur in the process. The forces are in equilibrium.
Technical Specifications
determination of shear force and bending moment on beam mounted on 2 supports
measurement of shear force and bending moment in beam by low-friction hinge with 2 degrees of freedom
position of hinge at 1/3 span
2 bearing supports
loading of beam by 1 to 3 point loads
force gauges to indicate shear force and determine bending moment
bending moment determined by force measurement and lever arm
adjuster nuts for horizontal alignment of beam
tape measure to determine positions of point loads
