Lab #7 Due Dates • Lab #7 Multiple Choice Questions by midnight Saturday (05/03/14) • Lab #7 Answers will be posted by 11am on Sunday (05/04/14) • Final Quiz next week will have 20 questions selected from Lab #1 #7 • Lab Report #7 and Student Survey will be due next on the class day
Deflection of a Cantilevered Beam • Measure deflection of a cantilevered beam due to a Point Load at different distances from the fixed support • Determine the elastic modulus of the beam material, and compare it with values from the handbook and Lab #5 • Compare the measured deflections with values calculated from theory
Key Relation in Bending At any location x along the longitudinal axis of the beam: (x) is the curvature of the beam (x) is the radius of curvature of the beam M(x) is the internal bending moment E is the elastic modulus of the beam material I is the moment of inertia of the beam cross-section
Curvature of a curve y(x) If deflections y(x) are small, then the slopes |y’(x)| << 1.
Summary of Deflection Formulas Only uniformly distributed load w Both w and point load P Only point load P
Deflection at x = q Only uniformly distributed load w Both w and point load P Only point load P
Processing Data P (lb) = - P(mm) *10 *0.2248
Fitting Straight Lines to y versus P =slope(y-values, x-values) =intercept(y-values, x-values) =rsq(y-values, x-values)
Plot #2: q3 versus slope q3 = (3EI) * slope
Determining Elastic Modulus E Mass Density (look it up) = * b * h =bh3/12 =Gradient/3I Use LINEST function q3 = (3EI) * slope
Naming Parameters Emod w
Visual Basic Module select click If you don’t see the “Developer” tab in the menubar, then select File OptionsCustomize Ribbons
New VBA Module On Menubar: Insert Module
Theoretical Deflections Must name worksheet as “Data” Defining VBA function Defw Importing named parameter values
Using the VBA function Defw(q, P) = defw (q, P) Deflection due to Beam weight (remember we zeroed both indicators)
Implementing Singularity Function < x – a >n
VBA Function DefwP(q, P) Underscore is Line Continuation Character Singularity function
Theoretical Deflections = DefwP(q, P) – y0
Comparing Measured & Theoretical Deflections =Theoretical - Measured
