8 Twist and bend
• To measure the counter shear force and counter
bending moment under Applied load at different
position on the beam
• To measure deflection of simply supported beam at
different interval
• To understand the relationship between applied torque
and angle of twist
• To determine the Modulus of rigidity for different
materials.
• To understand the relationship between length of bar
and angle of twist
• To measure the deflection experimentally and
theoretically and then comparing the results.
