The document details a laboratory experiment conducted at Mutah University to determine the modulus of elasticity (E) for steel and brass beams through deflection tests. The results show E values of 182.3 GPa for steel and 102.91 GPa for brass, with an unexpected result of 4811 GPa for a double simply supported overhanging beam. The report includes theoretical equations, experimental data, and requests for feedback to improve future reports.

Deflection test

Object :
Using deflection of beams methods to determine the materials modulus of elasticity E
for two different materials (Steel and Brass).

Figure 1

Theory and used equations :
The main equation is the following and we will provide final expressions for the
maximum slope and deflection for the simply supported and the cantilever beam and
only derive the over hanged simply supported beam:

Main equation: d^2y/dx^2=MEI

For the simply supported made of steel (E should be in the range of 200Gpa)

For the test we plot the date and find E experimentally ( using the slope of the
data) and theoretically instantly.

Making the general slope = 0.1295 x 10^-3 Now using E = L^3 /

we find that Eexperimental = 182.3 Gpa. Very good

Which gives a general slope of 0.927 x 10^-3

Now using Eexperimental = L^3/3*I(SLOPE)
Eexperimental =102.91 Gpa . Very good

Now for the double simply supported over hanging beam with same I

Which gives us a general slope of 0.0106 x 10^-3

So Eexperimental = al^2 /8I *(SLOPE) = 4811 Gpa  I tried to recalculate many times and the
same unexpected results keeps coming.
