This beam bending experiment module is designed for structural mechanics studies, allowing users to analyze deflection under various beam configurations. It supports cantilever, simply supported, fixed, and propped cantilever setups with adjustable load and deflection measuring positions. A high-resolution digital deflection indicator ensures accurate readings, while a Vernier caliper allows precise cross-section measurement. Beams in aluminum, brass, and mild steel with varying cross-sections provide insights into elastic modulus and Second Moment of Area. Integrated with EDAQ software, it enables real-time data acquisition, display, and logging via USB. The package includes essential accessories for a complete hands-on learning experience.
