Aims Case

INTRODUCTION

The aim of this experiment is to first; find/investigate/verify or research a relationship between deflection and load of a simple supported beam and secondly is to determine the young's modulus of elasticity from the given beam.

Therefore the AIMS & OBJECTIVE OF THIS EXPERIMENT ARE:

1. To research a relationship between deflection and load of a simple supported beam

2. To determine the young's modulus of elasticity from the given beam.

Hence this report will include:

• the research methodology;

o explanation about the Apparatus used and

o the procedures followed to carry out the experiment

• Data/readings/results and observations of the experiment.

• Analysis of data that were found in the experiment

• Calculations of the experiment necessary to justify the findings

• Graphs to create a clear overview of the relation and accuracy of the experiment

• Results; After the experiment, calculations and graph analysis

• Discussion with my mates about the experiment if necessary

• Analysis based on the results

• Interpretation of the results

DEFLECTION

The term deflection can have different meaning according to the field, but in (civil) engineering deflection is ‘'the lateral bending, deviation or turn of a structure that
