TQ's Bending Moments in a Beam teaching apparatus enables a range of laboratory, classroom and computer-based experiments for civil, mechanical and structural engineering students. It provides clear visualisation and straightforward proof of the theory of bending moments in a beam.
Experiments include:
|
 |
Bending moment variation at the point of loading |
|
|
Variation of bending moment away from the point of loading |
|
|
Examination of various other loading cases, including loads traversing the beam |
 |
| To ensure it meets your teaching needs, TQ's Bending Moments in a Beam teaching apparatus is available in various hardware and software formats. Choose from: |
 |
Hardware only |
| Hardware with virtual (computer-simulated) experiments |
|
Hardware with automatic data acquisition and virtual experiments |
| Virtual experiments only, included in the Virtual Experimentation Pack (STRS) |
|
HARDWARE
The high-quality Bending Moments in a Beam experiment module consists of a simply supported beam 'cut' by a pivot.
To perform Bending Moments in a Beam experiments, students apply loads along the beam. A moment arm bridges the cut on to a load cell thus reacting (and measuring) the bending moment force.
Students read the forces created using a Digital Force Display (STR1a).
Includes weights, weight hangers, electronic load cell, a lecturer guide and a student guide.
Essential ancillaries:
To use the Bending Moments in a Beam hardware you will also need:
Structures Test Frame (STR1) and a
Digital Force Display (STR1a)
Recommended ancillaries:
Structures Virtual Experimentation Pack (STRS)
The Automatic Data Acquisition Unit (STR2000) will enable automatic data acquisition from the Bending Moments in a Beam hardware. As an additional benefit, the Bending Moments in a Beam virtual experiment is FREE!

VIRTUAL EXPERIMENTS
The Bending Moments in a Beam Virtual Experiments Software enables computer simulation of experiments working with or without the Structures teaching hardware. It expands the scope of experimentation beyond the limits of the hardware, allowing students to visualise, tabulate and graph data, reducing the time required for students to obtain, process and present results. It also provides greater versatility and scope when applying loads to the beam and, to further aid understanding, the software displays a bending moment diagram during experiments.
The Virtual Experiments Software is available in a variety of multi-user and networked options, as well as single-user format.
