The Elastic Properties of Deflected Beam Apparatus is a precision-engineered educational tool used in mechanical and civil engineering labs to determine the Young's modulus of a beam material. It demonstrates the fundamental concepts of beam deflection under loading conditions and provides clear, visual insight into the behavior of materials subjected to bending stress.
Designed for experiments on simply supported or cantilever beam configurations
Enables accurate measurement of deflection at specific points
Includes a micrometer dial gauge or digital deflection indicator for high precision
Comes with interchangeable test specimens (metal rods of varying materials and cross-sections)
Rigid base and clamping system ensure stable and repeatable results
Ideal for academic experiments, research, and material property verification
