Features: Experiment that illustrates and proves the basic theory of bending moments in a beam. Mount on the Structures platform and connect to Structures automatic versatile data acquisition system and software. Made in accordance with the latest European Union directives. Unique beam ?cut? and load cell system for an accurate measurement of bending moment. Include multiple loads for many combinations of loads including uniformly distributed loads (UDLs). Supplied with a storage tray to keep smaller items safe. Direct reading of bending moment at the ?cut? for quick and simple experiments. Manufactured in the China. This product help students to understand how loads affect the bending moment in a beam. Students apply load to hangers suspended along the beam, held between two supports. One support allows rotational movement only, acting as a pinned support. The other support allows translational movement, acting as roller support.

Learning Outcomes:
Bending moment at the cut due to a varying single point load.
Bending moment at the cut due to a moving single point load.
Bending moment at the cut due to a uniformly distributed load.
Influence lines and superposition.
Technical Specifications:
Following items included as standard:
Two supports, holding a beam of minimum 0.8 m length and 0.5 m span.
Bending moment load cell built into the center span of the beam.
Cable and minimum four mass hangers 50 x 20 g masses.
Minimum two UDL bars.
Storage tray and comprehensive user guide.
Software: Along with data acquisition application allow students to simulate the hands-on laboratory experiments, verifying their results. Also, allow simulation of alternative setups, such as having the beam ?cut? at different positions and calculating the support reactions, extending the learning experience beyond the practical laboratory session.
