Abstract

This experiment aims at determining the Young’s Modulus (E) by using the strain gauge technique. It is determined for a simply supported beam by measuring the strain in the beam when it is loaded in 3 point bending. i.e. load is applied exactly at the center of the beam. The bending of a beam is an example of Hooke’s Law, which states that, when an elastic body is strained in any way, the deformation is directly proportional to the applied stress provided the body is not strained beyond its elastic limit. In this experiment, Young’s Modulus ...

This paper gives a report on the experiment performed on the deformation of bars under bending. During the experiment, the deflection of bars was observed when external pressure was exerted on them. The data obtained represented the quality of the bars which wee used in the experiment. Hence, it can be used in determining the quality of their work as recommended. The production of quality work can be of a great benefit to all the users of these bars. Meaning, such experiments should be conducted to gauge and determine their performance. Only the high performing bars should be used.
