Introduction
In this experimental investigation, our focus will be on beam stress and bending. We will employ strain
gauges strategically positioned along an I-beam and vary their distances from a fixed clamp as well as a
dial gage to measure the deflection of the beam in a simple manner. Subsequently, we will subject the
beam to diverse loads applied at two different points near its extremity. By collecting data pertaining to
strain, load magnitudes, and distances, we will apply Hooke's law and the flexure formula, accompanied
by moment diagrams/equations, to determine the strain response of the beam to a load.
Discussion of relevant concepts
The primary objective of this experiment is to understand the behavior of a beam when subject to
bending by loading a cantilevered I-beam and gathering data on its response. In the following
paragraphs, we will go over the equations that govern the response of beams to bending moments. The
first among them is the flexure formula, as depicted below, where
?
represents the bending moment,
?
signifies the location for stress assessment, and
𝐼
stands for the second moment of area.
𝜎 = −
??
𝐼
Now, below is the equation for shear stress due to bending.
𝑉
is the shear stress due to applied loads,
?
is the first moment of area and
𝐼
is the second moment of area.
𝜏 =
𝑉?
𝑏𝐼
The distribution of normal stress is linear, where the max stress is at the top and bottom of the beam
pointing in opposite directions. The distribution of shear stress is a parabola with the focus located at the
central axis of the beam.
Deflection is a useful piece of data gathered from this experiment using a dial gauge, and the theoretical
deflection can be calculated as below.
𝛿 =

Now, here are drawn shear force and bending moment diagrams for cantilever and 3-point bending
configuration beams.
Figure 1: Shear and moment diagrams for different configurations of a loaded beam
Experimental Procedure
A 6061 Aluminum I-Beam, firmly attached to the testing table, is used as the cantilever beam for
experimentation. Two strain gauges each are attached at 3 locations on the beam. The measurements
were recorded using LabView and a dial gage.
After configuring the LabView software and ensuring that the strain gage connections were in good
condition, the dial gauge was placed on the beam at a measured location. Then, the position of the
beam was adjusted in order to locate the testing machine head above a specified location. The LabView
recording was started and the load was applied up to specific values (
100, 200, 250 ?𝑏𝑠
) and a photo of
the strain and load data from LabView and the dial gage deflection was recorded. This process was
performed again with the beam moved to a different position in order to understand how the deflection
changed by varying the distance of the load from the cantilever.
Results & Calculations
Now we calculate the moment of inertia of the I-beam based on measurements taken during the
experiment using the following formula:

Question 2
You are a biomedical engineer working for a small orthopaedic firm that fabricates rectangular shaped fracture
fixation plates from titanium alloy (model = "Ti Fix-It") materials. A recent clinical report documents some problems with the plates
implanted into fractured limbs. Specifically, some plates have become permanently bent while patients are in rehab and doing partial
weight bearing activities.
Your boss asks you to review the technical report that was generated by the previous test engineer (whose job you now have!) and used to
verify the design. The brief report states the following... "Ti Fix-It plates were manufactured from Ti-6Al-4V (grade 5) and machined into
solid 150 mm long beams with a 4 mm thick and 15 mm wide cross section. Each Ti Fix-It plate was loaded in equilibrium in a 4-point bending
test (set-up configuration is provided in drawing below), with an applied load of 1000N. The maximum stress in this set-up was less than the
yield stress for the…

A metallic strain gauge produces an electrical resistance change when subjected to
mechanical strain. However, engineers don't measure this voltage drop directly using
a voltmeter. Why don't we directly measure the voltage drop across the strain gauge,

I Review
Learning Goal:
Part A- Vertical impact
To calculate displacement and stresses due to vertical and horizontal impact loads.
A 10-kg block is dropped from 1.5 m onto the center of a simply supported beam with a length 3 m. The beam has a square section with side length 6.5 cm. The material has E = 200 GPa . What is the maximum
deflection?
When an object strikes a structure that responds by deforming in linear elastic fashion, the
object comes to rest when the structure has undergone maximum deflection. At that
moment, the structure's strain energy must equal the sum of the energies before the impact,
including both the object's kinetic energy and its gravitational potential energy.
Express your answer with appropriate units to three significant figures.
