( ) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 ( ) of beam under different incremental
Δ𝑃 Δ𝑃
loads to draw its Mohr Circle and find out principle
values of moment of inertia
Determination of Ixx and Iyy of Beam under 4
unsymmetrical bending
Apparatus
• Unsymmetrical Bending and Shear Centre Apparatus (shown in the picture below)
• Deflection Measuring Gauges
• Specimen: Steel C- Channel of thickness 2mm and outer sides 12.5mm each and length
470 mm
• Graph Paper
• Pencil
unsymmetrical bending
Procedure:
• Tare both the deflection gauges.
• Load the hanger with 0.3N load and determine the deflection in both the gauges at
angle 0 degree.
• Increment the load on the hanger to 0.6 N and determine the deflection in both the
gauges at an angle of 0 degrees
• Increment the load on the hanger to 0.9 N and determine the deflection in both the
gauges at an angle of 0 degrees
• Note down all the reading in a tabulated form shown on the next slide
Δ𝑈 Δ𝑉
• Calculate the (Δ𝑃 ) 𝑎𝑛𝑑 (Δ𝑃) using this data and then draw Mohr circle using largest
Δ𝑈 Δ𝑉
value of (Δ𝑃 ) x axis and (Δ𝑃) on y-axis (refer to next slides)
• Once Mohr Circle is made, find the principle values of Moments of Inertia
