ABSTRACT

ABSTRACT:
The experiment included measuring the bending of a beam with cantilever joints
under varied loads delivered at various cross sections of the beam. Two beams made
of distinct materials, namely Aluminum and Stainless Steel, were used. The
mathematical formula for the beam displacement is also included in the theoretical
section. The deflection gauge was used to measure the values of displacement in the
experiment. A comparison was made between the theoretical and experimental data to
assess the correctness of the formulas used for predicting the deflection. Additionally,
the percentage error was computed.
INTRODUCTION:
The objective of the research was to ascertain the degree of deflection, particularly in
cantilever structures such as bridges, cranes, display cases, and terraces. Cantilever
bridges typically consist of paired cantilever beams, each serving as supports for one
end of a middle portion. The Forth Superstructure in Scotland exemplifies the
cantilever truss structure. A different application of the cantilevered is in the design of
fixed-wing aircraft. The cantilever beam is extensively used throughout all domains of
life. To ensure optimal design, it is important to ascertain the maximum angle of
deflection of the shine under certain loads and estimate its strength.
THEORY:
A cantilever is a stiff structural component, which might be a girder or a plate, that is

fixed at its southernmost point to a support (often vertical) and extends outward. The
connection may also be at a right angle to a smooth, vertical surface like a wall.
Trusses or slabs may also be used to make cantilevers. When a cantilever is exposed
to a mechanical load, it transfers it to the support, where it is resisted by a
combination of moment of bend and shear stress. A cantilevered structure is a stiff
structural component, such as a girder or a piece of metal, that is fixed at its
southernmost point to a support (often vertical) and extends outward. The connection
may also be at a right angle to a flat, perpendicular surface like a wall. Cantilevers
may also be fabricated using trusses or slabs. Under the influence of a constructive
load, the spanner transfers its burden to the support, where it experiences a brief
period of and shear stress. A cantilever beam is a kind of beam that has one end
fastened and the other end floating. It may be made using arch or blocks. The beam
induces the load to bear its weight.
APPARATUS:
i) Beam Model.
ii) Masses.
iii) Device for measuring deflection.
iv) Hangers for supporting weight.
PROCEDURE:
1] Position the projection model onto the work surface. The object should be
positioned in a horizontal orientation and securely fastened.
2] Replace the radiation bar made of steel with a different dimension as indicated, and
then perform the same process as in the previous demonstration.
CASE 1:
CANTILIVER BEAM:
 A single end is secured while the opposing end is unrestricted.

 Observe the deviation of the dial measurement when the length cannot be
supported and at any particular point.
 Maintain the burden at the identical location as in the last trial.
OBSERVATIONS AND CALCULATIONS:
1] The instant of momentum of the beam is given by the formula I = (bh^3)/12.

2] The displacement of the location may be determined using a theoretical equation.
 Calculation of deflection at a certain point.

 The angle of flexion of an unconstrained beam is two.
CASE 2:
 One of the ends is secured while the other end is free to rotate, and the weight is
applied in the middle.
 Record the deviation shown by the dial gauge's readings at two specified points
within the given range, while maintaining the same weights and determining how
far you are from the anchors.
OBSERVATION AND CALCULATIONS:
Displacement at any given location.

Located between the intersection of fastening and the load.

V represents the length of the path from the roller back to the place of attention.
PRECAUTIONS:
1) Observe the reading attentively.

2) Take measurements of the specimen's circumference at several different locations.
