TORSION LABORATORY
Objective The objective of this experiment was to determine the relationship between load and angular deflection of a mild steel bar, the maximum shear stress applied to the bar and its modulus of rigidity.
Apparatus
- Torsion test rig - Weight hangers - Masses - Rule - Calipers
Procedure
- A distance L was set between two angle indicators. Then the fixings were tightened to make sure that it was not moving. The indicators were set to zero on both the scales. - The effective radius of the pulley and the diameter of the steel shaft ...
