  1. Cantilever Beams ENGR 130 - 035 Michael Pickens, Patrick Sanders, Adam Spencer, Chris Stubbs LOGO LOGO RESULTS DISCUSSION BACKGROUND Insert the results here, but do not discuss them or draw any conclusions. Include a table caption at the top of the table, and a figure caption at the bottom of the figure. The caption should include a number and a word description. Be aware that your tables and figures should illustrate DIFFERENT ideas; they should not contain the same data. Do NOT include large tables of raw data. This section should be a SAMPLE of your work, used to illustrate the points of your discussion. Be sure to follow proper plot rules. Be sure your graphs can be easily read from a distance. Replace these words with FIGURE or TABLE We set up the project similar to Figure 1. We tested various lengths, widths, thicknesses, and materials to obtain enough to form an equation to model the stiffness of a cantilever beam. The equation we came up with is K=.203E1W1T3L-3 Figures 2 gave us the slope of stiffness versus length, which is used for the exponent of the length. Figure 3 gave us the slope of stiffness versus thickness, which is used for the exponent of the thickness. From this equation we can predict the stiffness of beams, which allows us to predict the deflection or load of the beam. Our results show a percent error of .76%, .59%, 13.72%, and 8.84% on the four tests that we did. We have been hired by a biosystems engineering company to research a device to measure the amount of suspended sediment in rivers. We measured different thicknesses, widths, lengths, and materials so that we could come up with an equation to help solve the problem. Figure 2 FIGURE or TABLE of Results Figure 1 CONCLUSIONS PURPOSE In conclusion, we were able to find an equation that allowed us to predict the deflection or loads of any beam. Our low percent errors showed that our equation is very reliable to predict the load or deflection. We will test different lengths, widths, thicknesses, and materials of cantilever beams to see how far they deflect. Based on the information , we will come up with an equation that will allow us to figure out how far any b of any dimensions will deflect. We will do four tests with random dimensions, two to predict the deflection and two to predict the load.
