Bending Moment and Shear Force Apparatus Manufacturer,Supplier and Exporter in India
Product Code : EL-SML-10084
Jlab Export is a leading Bending Moment and Shear Force Apparatus Manufacturer,and suppliers in India
Bending Moment and Shear Force Apparatus (code EL-SML-10084) is a beam rig, 158 x 45 x 60 cm overall, for verifying the shear force and the bending moment at a cross-section of a loaded beam. The 160 cm beam with its flexure is 5 cm wide and 36 mm high; three hangers carry the weights and two 10 kg spring balances give the measured forces. This shear and moment beam rig is produced by JLab in Ambala, India.

Shear Force and Bending Moment at a Section
The shear force at a cross-section is the algebraic sum of the vertical forces acting on one side of it, the action that tends to slide one part of the beam past the other. The bending moment at the same section is the sum of each of those forces multiplied by its perpendicular distance from the section. Both follow from statics once the support reactions have been found by taking moments for the whole beam.
Drawing and Checking the Diagrams
With point loads from the hangers, the shear force diagram is a series of steps, constant between loads and jumping by the value of each load. The bending moment diagram is made of straight lines between the loads, peaking where the shear force passes through zero. For a chosen hanger arrangement, students calculate the shear force and bending moment at the section under study and compare them with values from the spring balance readings; moving the hangers shows how both change with load position.
