    This document discusses bending in beams and how to calculate elastic modulus from beam deflection measurements. It defines bending as a structural element subjected to a perpendicular load, causing compressive and tensile forces. An experiment is described to measure deflection at two points along beams made of mild steel, aluminum, and brass when weights are applied. The deflection measurements will be used to calculate and compare the actual and theoretical elastic modulus values for each beam material.

    Introduction

    Bending characterizes the behaviour of a slender structural element subjected to


    an external load applied perpendicularly to a longitudinal axis of the element. In
    this experiment, the deflection of the beam due to applied load will be measured
    at two points along the beam and elastic modulus is calculated as shown in
    figure 1.

    Figure 1 : Deflection in beam

    Engineers use beams to support loads over a span length. These beams are
    structural members that are only loaded non-axially causing them to be
    subjected to bending. This definition of bending is illustrated below in figure 2.
    Compressive force, C, and the tensile force, T, acting on the member are equal in
    magnitude due to equilibrium. Therefore, the compressive force and the tensile
    force form a force couple whose moment is equal to either the tensile force
    multiplied by the moment arm or the compressive force multiplied by the
    moment arm.

    Figure 2 : Bending in cross section

    Deflection of a beam can be conclude as the displacement of a point on the


    neutral surface of a beam from its original position under the action of applied
    loads. Before the proportional limit of the material, the deflection, , can be
    calculated using the moment of inertia, modulus of elasticity along with other
    section properties that will depend on the given situation imposed on the beam.

    Bending action in a beam acted upon by transverse loads as shown in figure 3.


    Bending may be accompanied by direct stress, transverse shear or torsional
    shear. In order to separate the stresses it is assumed that the loads are applied
    which in conditions:
    a)
    b)
    c)
    d)

    Loads act in a plane of symmetry


    No twisting occurs
    Deflections are parallel to the plane of the loads
    No longitudinal forces are induced by the loads or by the supports

    This experiment to analysis the elastic modulus (E) of beam specimen by method
    of deflection of Mild Steel, Aluminium and Brass. The beam specimen will be test
    with specific weight to indicate the deflection. It also to validate the data
    between experimental and theoretical values of beam specimen by comparing
    the data, graph and result.
