COMBINED SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT

A rigid aluminium beam is cut into two unequal lengths, creating a 'cut' section, with each beam simply supported on vertical supports. Each support can be moved along the beam to create varied spans. At the cut section, a deep groove ball bearing in one beam runs within a block in the other, allowing both vertical movement (shear) and rotation (bending).

Shear force is measured via a vertical load cell; a second underslung load cell measures the bending moment force via a moment lever arm. Load cell outputs feed into a digital interface (sold separately). Learn about COMBINED SHEAR FORCE AND BENDING MOMENT for educational labs for optimal educational outcomes.. Special load hangers fit over the beams and can be positioned accurately using graduated scales along the beam lengths.
