    Experiment # 1: Mechanic of Material

    Uploaded by

    The document describes an experiment to measure the deflection of a cantilever beam under increasing loads. Students are asked to measure the beam's dimensions, clamp it, apply weights to induce deflection, and record the loading and unloading deflections using a dial gauge. They must then calculate the theoretical deflection using mechanics of materials formulas and compare it to the average actual deflection, determining the percentage error. Results are to be reported in a table, graph, and discussion in a lab report. The experiment aims to calculate and compare theoretical and experimental deflections of beams made of different materials under load.

    Experiment # 6 Deflection is Cantilever beam
    Objective:
     Calculate theoretical deflection in beam using mathematical formula
     Measure actual deflection in beam using Dial Gauge
     Calculate the Percentage Error between theoretical and actual deflection
     Present your findings in a Lab Report with table , calculations, graph & discussion
    Apparatus :

     Metal Beams ( mild steel ,brass , aluminum )


     Dial Gauge
     Meter Rod
     Vernier Calipers
     Weights
     Clamping Mechanism
    Procedure:

     Clamp the beam in the clamping mechanism in the cantilever-manner.


     Measure the beam’s length, breadth and height using Meter Rod and Vernier Calipers.
     Adjust the dial gauge at the free end of the beam.
     Add weights to the beam’s free end and note the respective deflection (against the
    increasing loads).
     After noting the deflection of maximum load, decrease the loads and note the
    respective Unloading Deflection.
     Take the average of the Loading and Unloading Deflections to attain the Actual
    Deflection.
     Calculate the theoretical maximum deflection using standard formula.
     Compare the Theoretical &Actual Deflections by calculating the irrespective Percentage
    Errors.

     Repeat the experiment for beams of different materials .
