Curved Beam Deflection Apparatus AZA1338
The AZA1338 Curved Beam Deflection Apparatus is a precision laboratory instrument designed to study the horizontal and vertical deflection behavior of curved beams subjected to end loading. This apparatus is extensively used in Strength of Materials, Theory of Structures, and Applied Mechanics laboratories to demonstrate the deformation characteristics of curved structural members.
Description and Working Principle
The apparatus consists of a high-strength steel bar system that can be configured into various curved beam geometries. These interchangeable members allow students and researchers to analyze how curvature and shape influence stress distribution and deflection under applied loads.
The curved members that can be formed using the steel bar include:
- Circular ring segment
- Semicircular beam with straight arm
- Quadrant of a circle
- Quadrant of a circle with straight arm
Each curved member is rigidly fixed at the base, creating a cantilever-type condition. When a load is applied at the free end, the beam undergoes both horizontal and vertical deflection. These deflections are accurately measured using high-precision dial gauges, enabling comparison between experimental results and theoretical calculations.
Description
Measurement System
The apparatus is supplied with a dial gauge having 25 mm travel, mounted on a magnetic base. This arrangement allows flexible positioning of the gauge to measure deflection in different directions with high accuracy and repeatability.
