Aim
The Aim of the laboratory testing is to demonstrate the practical application of the theoretical
calculations through experiment.
SHEAR CENTRE
Method
Using different sections with thin wall steel welded at each end to the section frame, resulting in the
beam being fixed. Loads will be applied to the centroid of the section at right angles to the section on
a plate (Figure 1). The load will be moved in 20mm increments from one side of the section to the
other. Dial gauges are placed at the top of the plate will read the differential vertical movement Yof
the plate to the right and left of the section (Figure 2). When the central plate is horizontal with the
load applied, torsion on the section will be equalised both left and right. The point at which this
equalisation of torsion (both +V plus -V = 0) occurs is the shear centre within limitations of the 20mm
increments, at this point the components of the force are in the Y axis (Figure 3).

Equal Angle,
Theory
The equal angle is symmetrical resulting in the shear centre being within the centroid of the section.
The shear centre remains unaffected by the orientation of the angle because the components of the
force change in equal magnitude between the X and Y axis transferring from one to the other (Figure
5). The theoretical shear centre should be at the centre at position 6 in Figure 6. (SEWARD, D)

Results
From the table it can be seen that position 6 is where the load is 0.02mm from the equilibrium from
left to right about position 6. When this data is plotted into a chart the intersection of the two results is
the shear centre (Chart 1). The 0.02mm can be explained by the fixed 20mm position and the
thickness of the steel section, if this were an infinite sliding scale there would be a point of true
equilibrium. This demonstrates that the theory follows the practice.

Channel
Theory
As this is non-symmetrical section the shear centre will fall out of the centre line of the section. The
eccentricity of this is dimension e (Figure 7). Distance e is calculated using the following equation
(Equation 1).
Equation 1 Channel
e= eccentricity
h= height or depth of the section
b= breadth of the section
This puts the theoretical shear centre distance e of18.75mm outside the channel section. This
theoretical result should result in a shear centre in the practical test somewhere between positions 6
and 7 (Figure 7).

Results
As predicted the point of equilibrium falls outside of the section between positions 6 and 7. When this
data is plotted the intersection of the two dial readings is where the load is at its greatest Y =
maximum component and X = 0 being the shear centre of the beam. This demonstrates that the
theory follows the practice. In the graph it is seen that the intersection falls below the 0 line as the
whole section is deflected by this displacement.

Semicircle,
Theory
Again this is non-symmetrical section the shear centre will fall out of the centre line of the section. The
eccentricity of this is dimension e (Figure 8). Distance e is calculated using the following equation
(Equation 2). (MEGSON, T.H.G)
( )
( )
Equation 2 Semicircle
e= eccentricity
r= radius
This puts the theoretical shear centre distance e at 13.66mm outside the Semicircle section. This
theoretical outcome should result in a shear centre in the practical test somewhere between again
positions 6 and 7 (Figure 8)

Again as predicted the point of equilibrium falls outside of the Semicircle section between positions 6
and 7. When this data is plotted the intersection of the two dial readings is where the load is at its
greatest Ycomponent and X= 0 being the shear centre of the section. This demonstrates that the
theory follows the practice. The intersection falls below the 0 line as the whole section is deflected by

UNSYMMETRICAL BENDING
This is an investigation into the moment of inertia described as:
The moment of inertia of an object about a given axis describes how
difficult it is to change its angular motion about that axis. Therefore, it
encompasses not just how much mass the object has overall, but how far
each bit of mass is from the axis.
(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moment_of_inertia, March 2011)
Method
The intention is to demonstrate the changing moment of inertia and the states of unsymmetrical
bending from a maximum to a minimum by orientation of the section. Using a solid steel section bar,
600mm in length, with an average section of 9.65mm x 19.39mm, and a load of 20N applied (Figure9).

This will demonstrate the various states of unsymmetrical bending through the symmetrical state.
The bar is rotated though 105 of rotation from 45 to 150, this changing orientation of the section will
change the moment of inertia I in the X and Y axis. The change in moment of inertia will alter the
deflection of the bar given a constant Young's modulus (the stiffness of the material). The
components X and Y deflection can be recorded as the angle of rotation is changed (Figure 10).

Theory
The moment of inertia I for a square section is calculated by (Equation 3) (MEGSON, T.H.G)
Equation 3 moment of inertia
Ix= moment of inertia about axis X
Iy= moment of inertia aboutaxis Y
b= breadth of section
d= depth of the section
The components of the load are given by the following (equation 4) (MEGSON, T.H.G)

The colouration of the graphs denotes a similar trend showing the moment of inertia transforming as
the beam is rotated. Taking this to 315 of rotation as shown below, this demonstrates that with
consistent dimensions there will be maximum inertia of the section twice in rotation for a rectangle
section.
