Shear Force In A Beam

Description of Shear Force In A Beam

The experiment hardware is a simply supported beam with a ‘cut’. The beam fits onto a Multi Structures Test Frame.

A mechanism bridges the cut, which stops the beam collapsing and allows movement in the shear direction only. An electronic load cell measures the force, and connects to a Multi-Channel Digital Transducer Display .Students apply loads at set positions using hangers holding various masses.

Features of Shear Force In A Beam

  1. Shows and proves the basic theory of shear force in a beam
  2. High-quality structures teaching module for students of mechanical, civil and structural engineering
  3. Allows safe and practical experiments into shear force in a beam
  4. Realistic and verifiable experiment results
  5. Optional AII’s Structures Software package for extra ‘virtual’ experiments that simulate and confirm the results from your hardware and allow extended experiments
  6. Optional unit with AII’s Structures Software package for automatic data acquisition and virtual experiments
  7. One of many interchangeable experiment modules from AII’s modern, flexible and cost-effective Structures teaching system
  8. Ideal for classroom demonstrations, or students working in pairs or small groups


  1. Shear force variation with an increasing point load
  2. Variation of shear force for various loading conditions
  3. Examination of various other loading cases and their effect on shear force, including loads traversing the beam
