This experimental module is designed to fit onto the Structures platform, offering a precise and efficient setup for studying
shear forces in beams. It features a unique beam "cut" and integrated load cell system that provides direct and accurate
measurement of shear force at the cut. The module allows users to apply different loading conditions, including single
point and uniformly distributed loads (UDLs), to analyze the impact of shear forces on structural elements. The
experimental setup includes a pinned support, which allows rotational movement only, and a roller support, which
permits translational movement. A load cell positioned at the center span of the beam captures shear force data in real
time, allowing for immediate analysis and comparison of results under different load conditions.
The system is fully compatible with the EDAQ software, which enables seamless data acquisition, visualization, and logging
through a USB interface. It allows users to record, analyze, and export data in a user-friendly format. The package includes
essential accessories, such as two beam supports, a shear force load cell, a 0.8m beam with a 0.5m span, four mass
hangers, 50 x 20g masses, two UDL bars, and a comprehensive user guide. Additionally, a storage tray is provided for
secure organization of small parts. This setup is ideal for engineering education and research, helping students and
professionals understand the principles of shear force in beams.
