AFME012 Area Moment Method
I.Overview
This equipment is for mechanical engineering department or mechanics engineering department in university, it’s for Theoretical and Applied Mechanics, Engineering Mechanics, Solid Mechanics major and other mechanics related department.
The equipment is used for measurement of deflections and slopes of a beam under bending or and compare with values calculated by differential equation. It is to be used with Universal Structural Frame (separately supplied).
The beam has a moment support and one built-in / knife edge support. The supports allow longitudinal travel of the beam. The moment support has a rotating arm which is monitored by a dial indicator. The moment is applied and measured by load on the rotating arm. The beam deflection is measured by a dial indicator.
Instruction manual is also included.
