This document provides instructions for determining the flexural rigidity (EI) of a beam through an experiment. It describes using a simply supported beam loaded at its center to measure the deflection. The flexural rigidity can then be calculated using the beam's dimensions, applied load, and measured deflection. The experiment is meant to find the actual EI value and compare it to the theoretical value calculated based on the beam's material properties and cross-section dimensions. Precautions are noted to accurately measure deflection and ensure the beam behaves elastically.

Determination of Flexural Rigidity (EI) Aim of the Experiment:- To find the value of flexural rigidity (EI) for a given beam and compare it with theoretical value. Apparatus:- Elastic Properties of deflected beam, weights, hanger, dial gauge, scale and Vernier caliper. Theory :- For a simply supported beam subjected to a concentrated load W at centre, maximum deflection y at the centre is given by, y = WL3/48EI Where, W = load applied at the centre L = span length E = modulus of elasticity of the material of the beam I = moment of inertia of cross section of the beam EI = WL3/48y EI for beam = E bd3 /12 Where, b = width of beam d = depth of beam. Procedure: i) Find b and d of the beam and calculate the theoretical value of EI. ii) Measure the main span of the beam with a scale. iii) By increasing loads at the centre of the beam, find the central deflection y. iv) Repeat the above steps for different loads. Observation and calculation: Length of main span, L (cm) = Width of beam, b (cm) = Depth of beam, d (cm) = Modulus of elasticity, E (kg/cm2) = 2 106

Calculation: Average values of EI from observation = cm4.
Average values of EI from calculation = . cm4. Result :Flexural rigidity (EI) is found same theoretically and experimentally. Precaution : Measure the center deflection y very accurately. Ensure that the beam is devoid of initial curvature. Loading should be within the elastic limit of the materials.
