1. Objectives
To determine the bending stress distribution along the flange of a cantilever beam.
To determine the shear stress distribution across the web of a cantilever beam.
To determine principal stresses and principal plane from the strain rosette¡¯s reading.

2. Theory
A point load F at the free-end of a cantilever beam as shown below will cause the beam to bend, producing a linear bending moment and a constant shear force along the beam. In the grider with thin web, the bending moment will be mainly resisted by the bending stress in the flanges, while the shear force will be resisted by the shear stress in the web of the beam.

(Cross-section view)
The distribution of bending stress and shear stress across the cross section is shown below respectively.

In this experiment, strain gauges and strain rosettes will be used to obtain the longitudinal strains in the ...
