  2. Project Description • Design, build, and test a hands-on visual beam system to aid students with concepts of solid mechanics such as beam bending and stresses. • Simply-supported beam scenario • Supports square, hollow, and I beams • User friendly interface • Displays moment, shear, and bending diagrams • Automatically determines loading conditions

  3. What’s Been Done Before? Visual Beams I • Cantilever Beam • Displays reaction forces and torque for various loading conditions Improvements • Adjustable supports for infinite scenarios • Interchangeable beams for different moments of inertia • Display entire bending, shear, and moment diagrams in addition to reaction forces

  4. Basic Design

  5. Basic Design

  6. Material Selection

  7. Calculations from Force Diagram & Stress Calculations • Summing the forces & moments • F= RA + RB - F= 0 • MA= LRB – F a = 0 • The reactions become: • RAy = Fy • RAx = RBx + Fx • RBx = LFy - FxR / (2R)
