Continuous and Indeterminate Beams (Next Generation Structures)

Experiment that can be used to perform a wide variety of beam experiments, from simple cases to complex problems. Mounts on the Structures test frame and connects to the Structures automatic data acquisition unit and software.

One of a range of experiment modules that fit to the Structures platform (available separately), this product provides a comprehensive set of experiments for the subject of beams and their support reactions and deflections. The first experiments use two simple supports and a 'rigid' and heavy beam to examine statically determinate systems. Students learn basic principles such as moments, the principle of superposition, uniformly distributed loads (UDLs) and the concept of the influence line.

The second set of experiments relate to more advanced beam structures that are statically indeterminate, or involve a measurable beam deflection. Students use a light and 'flexible' beam.

Using a 'flexible' beam allows students to consider the supports significantly more rigid, so the normal textbook theory becomes valid. Two additional supports help complete the experiments.
