Showing 4 experiments that use the Structures Beam Fixture.
Tensile Testing Beams
In this lab, a Tensile Test is performed on plastic beams and Young's Modulus is measured. Students test beams with varying cross-sectional shapes to investigate...
Column Buckling and Slenderness Ratio
In this lab, three different lengths of plastic I-beams are tested under compression to investigate...
Euler Column Buckling
The Euler Column Equation predicts the maximum compressional force applied to a column before it buckles. This value depends on the length of the column,...
Compression Testing Cast Beams
In this lab, Plaster of Paris cast beams are tested to destruction using compression. Quantities measured include Young's Modulus and the Compressive Strength...
