Elastic Transverse Impact on Beams

Article Preview

Abstract:

Present investigation were carried out to study photoelastically the stress distributions in a simply supported beam with over- hangs subjected to a low velocity central- and quarter- spanimpact loadings by light strikers keeping beam/ striker weight ratio constant (2.675), and then comparing the results so obtained with those in similar simply supported beams made of other materials subjected to central- impact loadings from an analysis of dynamic strain gauge data. Interesting new findings were obtained from the results of the present investigation and also from results reported in the literature in this respect. Introduction. In modern times dynamic stress analysis is becoming increasingly important for various engineering applications. Although significant amount of insight in these respects have been developed, the subject being rather intricate would continue to attract of more research workers in future. A beam is a common structural element, and in several applications, simply supported beams with over- hang are employed in practice. Transverse and longitudinal bridge girders and chassis of rails- and road- wagons are some of the typical applications of the same. Here, photoelastic technique was employed to determine dynamic stress distributions in a model simply supported beam with over- hang.
