CONCLUSION

From this experiment session, I have learnt how to apply beam theory on a cantilever

that is subjected to different point loads and the relationship of between stresses and

deflection. I have also managed to obtain Young's Modulus and Poisson's ratio of a beam

material through experimental values and graphs. In addition, by studying the magnitudes and

signs of the strains and stresses at the two position along the beam, I recognize the interaction

between them and how the beam is powered. The Direction and surface by which strain.

values shall also influence the sign and magnitudes of the calculated values. All of this can be

explained using beam theory. Finally, the experiment also provides an example of which the

obtained strain values may be incorrect and help us to understand the slight deviation of the

experimental results from the theoretical.
