Modulus of elasticity
Article No: P2120200
A flat bar is supported at two points. It is bent by the action of a force acting at its centre. The modulus of elasticity is determined from the bending and the geometric data of the bar. Benefits Find out the parameters that give a bar stability Measure the difference of elasticity in various metals with different lengths Learn how to determine forces with a dial gauge Tasks Determination of the characteristic curve of the dial gauge. Determination of the bending of flatbars as a function of the force; at constant force: of the thickness, of the width and of the distance between the support points. Determination of the modulus of elasticity of steel, aluminium and brass. Learning objectives Young's modulus Modulus of elasticity Stress Deformation Poisson's ratio Hooke's law
