The Bending Moment Experiment Module is designed for seamless integration with the Structures platform, offering an efficient setup for studying bending moments in beams. It features a precision-cut beam with a load cell system for direct and accurate measurement of bending moments under various loading conditions. The module includes a pinned support for rotational movement and a roller support for translational movement, simulating real-world structural behavior. A mid-span load cell records bending moments, allowing users to compare results under different load configurations. Integrated with EDAQ software, the system enables real-time data acquisition and analysis via USB. The package includes essential accessories, a comprehensive user guide, and a storage tray for organized safekeeping.
