    DEFLECTION TEST ON SIMPLY SUPPORTED BEAM


    2

    AIM: -To determined young‟s modulus of elasticity of material of beam simply supported at
    ends.
    APPARATUS: -
     Deflection of beam apparatus
     Pan
     Weights
     Beam ; mild steel beam 2.5 cm x3 mm and length 100 cm

    THEORY:-
    If a beam is simply supported at the ends and carries a concentrated load at its center, the beam
    bends concave upwards. The distance between the original position of the beams and its position
    after bending at different points along the length of the beam, being maximum at the center in
    this case. This difference is known as „deflection‟ In this particular type of loading the
    maximum amount of deflection (δ) is given by the

    W = Load acting at center, N


    L = Length of the beam between the supports mm
    E = Young‟s modulus of material of the beam, N/mm2
    I = Second moment of area of the cross- section (i.e, moment of Inertia) of the beam, about the
    neutral axis, mm.4
    BENDING STRESS:

    WHERE
    M = Bending Moment N-mm
    I = Moment of inertia mm4
    σ b = Bending stress, N/mm2 , and
    Y = Distance of the top of beam from the neutral axis
    Procedure

    1. Adjust cast- iron block along the bed so that they are symmetrical with respect to the length
    of the bed.
    2. Place the beam on the knife edges on the block so as to project equally beyond each knife
    edge. See that the load is applied at the center of the beam

    3. Note the initial reading of Dial gauge.


    4. Add a weight of 20N (say) and again note the reading of the dial gauge.
    5. Go on taking readings adding 20N (say) each time till you have minimum six readings.
    6. Find the deflection (δ) in each case by subtracting the initial reading of dial gauge.
    7. Draw a graph between load (W) and deflection (δ). On the graph choose any two convenient
    points and between these points find the corresponding values of W and δ. Putting these
    Values in the relation

    Calculate the value of E


    8. Calculate the bending stresses for different loads using relation

    As given in the observation table


    S.NO Load W Bending moment Stress Bending Deflection δ Young’s
    (N) M= Wl/4 N-mm3 δb=MY/I modulus of
    elasticity
    E=WL3 /48δI

    RESULT:
    1. The young’s modulus for steel beam is found to be----- N/mm2.

    PRECAUTION

    1. Make sure that beam and load are placed a proper position.

    2. The cross- section of the beam should be large.

    3. Note down the readings of the dial gauge carefully
