Deformation of Curved-Axis Beams Model MT 022

Sci-tech Deformation of Curved-Axis Beams Model MT 022 includes three different beams, borne on statically determinate supports: a circular beam, a semi-circular beam and a quadrant beam.
The beam under test is loaded with a set of weights. Dial gauges record its horizontal and vertical deformations.
All three beams have the same cross-section and so the same 2nd moment of area. This enables test results to
be directly compared.

Item Description
