The Deflection of Beams Apparatus is a bench-mounted unit for studying beam deflection under various loading and support conditions. It allows analysis of beam length, material properties, moment of inertia, and support types such as cantilever, fixed, and simply supported. Constructed from durable aluminum extrusions, it features a twin-beam setup with precise leveling and measurement capabilities. The system includes knife-edge supports, a built-in support, and stirrups with load hangers for flexible experimentation. Deflections are accurately measured using high-precision dial gauges and a slope indicator. A dedicated storage tray keeps all components organized for efficient use.
