ABSTRACT:
The practical that was conducted for the mechanics of materials module
consisted of three different experiments namely; Shear force in beam,
Bending moment in a beam and Bending stress in a beam. It gave
students some practical experience with theoretical knowledge that they
were learning in lecture. The practical used two different sets of apparatus
to work through three experiments and allowed students to collect
enough results and data to use for this report and to generate hand
calculations which will be used to verify and validate the results
generated by the practical work.
