GUNT Beam on Two Supports, Shear Force Diagram Experiment

The GUNT Beam on Two Supports Shear Force Diagram Experiment investigates the internal shear forces in a beam subjected to point loads. The beam is mounted on two supports and cut at one point where a low-friction hinge with one degree of freedom is installed.

Product Features

  • Beam mounted on two supports and subjected to point loads for shear force analysis
  • Beam is cut at one point with a low-friction hinge allowing one degree of freedom
  • Force gauge measures the internal reaction (shear force) directly at the cut section
  • Adjuster nut on the force gauge used to align the beam horizontally and compensate for deflection
  • Reactions are determined based on static equilibrium conditions
  • Beam is conceptually split into two segments using the method of sections to analyze internal forces and moments
  • Internal forces and moments are calculated and plotted according to equilibrium conditions

Benefits

  • Provides hands-on experience measuring internal shear forces in beams
  • Clear demonstration of statics principles and equilibrium in structural components
  • Accurate and direct shear force measurement with precision force gauge
  • Adjustable setup ensures precise beam alignment and deflection correction

Why Choose the GUNT Beam on Two Supports Shear Force Diagram Experiment?

This experiment is ideal for understanding and visualizing internal shear forces in beams under load. Its precise instrumentation and simple setup make it an excellent educational tool for mechanical engineering and structural analysis.
