Design of the deflection testing machine for fixed ended beam under uniformly distributed load

Abstract

This research is designing and construction an apparatus of deflection of fixed end beam under uniformly distribution load. SolidWorks program is used for structure designing and CosmosWorks program is used for strength of structure analysis. Deflection and strain of beam were compared with the result of mathematical model according to function stress principal. Error of mathematical model result does not exceed 10%. Therefore, this apparatus can be used as prototype and produced for education purpose.
