LAB 13: Influence Line for Deflection

Objective:
To show how to plot influence lines. To show how to use influence lines to predict deflection
of any given load or load.

Observation:
An influence line represents the variation of the reaction, shear, moment, or deflection at a
specific point in a member as a concentrated force moves over the member. Once
the influence line is drawn, the location of the live load which will cause the
greatest influence on the structure can be found very quickly. Influence lines are important
for the design of a structure that resists large live loads moving along the spans such as
bridges and cranes. Influence line equations technique can be employed to construct
influence lines of a member over which a concentrated live load moves along its span. When
the influence line is drawn, the location of the live load that leads to the greatest influence on
the structure can be found easily and quickly. Moreover, the magnitude of the associated
reaction, shear, moment, or deflection at the point can then be calculated from the ordinates
of the influence-line diagram.

Conclusion
As a result, from this
experiment, we were able to
analyze the
deformation of the circular shaft
when subjected to torque. We also
learned
the test method to obtain the
shear modulus of elasticity for
materials.
From the data shown, the shear
modulus of elasticity G is affected
mainly
by the load applied and its position,
and the angle theta from before and

after the load is applied. As the

value of theta increases, the shear
modulus
of elasticity decreases. Furthermore,
an increase in either the load or the
distance from the load to the center,
will result in an increase in the shear
modulus of elasticity.
