8: Inspiration for Improvement or Recreation of Model These concerns could be addressed by creating an experiment similar to the model shown in Fig. The frame structure would provide more idealized support and allow mounting of instruments to measure displacements as well as reaction forces. Currently, Document1Д®xperimental set-ups are being investigating which would be mounted within a frame structure. Time would be more efficiently spent developing a different model. The base of the current model and the mounting technique allow flexion that cannot be easily measured using Engauge Digitizer. Recommendations/Future Actions: It is likely that the support of this beam cannot be easily modified to become more ideal.

The results from the cart mounting are shown in Fig. compare theoretical expressions with measured data points, and make publication-quality graphs2 MEASURING MODES AND SAMPLE. shows the deflections from the case in which the beam was mounted to a table top. 5 and subtracting half of the beam and wire thicknesses. The load offset was measured using a caliper as shown in Fig. The beam was loaded by suspending two 5-lb weights onto the threaded rod as shown in Fig. The beam and the grid assembly were positioned as shown in Fig. The beam was mounted with other beams on a cart that enabled mobility of the model but at the expense of being a less ideal support.

Steel-reinforced epoxy putty was applied to the base to prevent rotation of the beam within the base. 1 represent the channel while dashed lines represent the threaded rod which is used to load the channel. 1 was embedded in a wooden support as shown in Fig. An aluminum channel with cross-sectional dimensions shown in Fig. The grid assembly was attached to a cart to ease positioning of the grid. A level was used to ensure that the horizontal gridlines were parallel to the floor and that the mat itself would be perpendicular to the floor. Analysis of Cantilevered Aluminum C-Beam Using Engauge Digitizer Objective: Compare the experimentally measured deformed shape of a beam to the shape calculated by finite element analysis Description of Model: A gridded mat was bolted onto a sheet of plywood which was then bolted to a pre-threaded steel base.
