    This document describes an experiment to determine the modulus of elasticity (E) of a beam specimen using a beam deflection apparatus. The beam is placed on supports and loaded at its center with weights while deflection is measured using a dial gauge. Deflection measurements are taken for both increasing and decreasing loads and averaged. The beam dimensions, loads, deflections, and calculated E values are recorded. Graphs of load vs deflection and deflection vs E are then plotted to analyze the results.

    MECHANICAL ENGINEERING DEPARTMENT.


    MECHANICS OF MATERIAL LABORATORY.
    EXPERIMENT:

    To find the modulus of elasticity (E) of the given beam specimen on beam
    deflection apparatus.

    APPARATUS:

    Beam deflection apparatus, Beam specimen, Dial Gauge, load device &
    hanger, Weight, Vernier Caliper.

    THEORY:
    PROCEDURE: Level the apparatus, place beam over the supports. Mount dial gauge at mid
    span. Also the load device at mid span above the beam and below the dial pointer. Adjust dial
    gauge to zero. Now start placing weight in load device and note corresponding deflection.
    When all loads have been placed and deflection noted, start removing loads and note
    corresponding deflections. Take average value of v and calculate corresponding E values. Find
    average value of E.
