Beam bending experiments

Beam bending experiments involve applying a load to a beam to observe how it deforms or bends under stress. These tests help determine properties like stiffness and strength, revealing how materials and structures will behave under real-world forces. By gradually increasing the load and measuring the resulting deflection, engineers can assess the beam’s capacity and ensure safety in construction and design. The results inform decisions on material selection and structural integrity, making them essential for building reliable and durable structures.
