Teaching & Learning Aids Cantilever Beams Designed for use with the Flexor , Cantilever Beams are coordinated with Experiments in Mechanics, but can be used separately for other demonstrations or experiments. All beams are manufactured from 2024-T6 high-strength aluminum alloy and are 1 in (25.4 mm) wide by 12.5 in (3175 mm) long. Beams designed for Experiments E-101 and E-103 are 0.125 in (3.18 mm) thick. All others are 0.250 in (6.35 mm) thick. Ungaged Beams Ungaged Beams permit specialized instruction and are particularly valuable when instructional time is sufficient to allow students to mount their own strain gages. Experiments in Mechanics available separately. Special Configuration Beams Special Configuration Beams are designed for advanced work in measuring stress concentrations. They are ungaged to afford students the opportunity to position and mount their own strain gages. Experiments in Mechanics available separately. Pregaged Beams Pregaged Beams are instrumented with Micro-Measurements temperature-compensated foil strain gages. The strain gage installations are fully wired and are covered with a clear protective coating. In addition, all installations are factory tested for resistance, stability, and freedom from creep. Beams ship with a copy of the corresponding Experiments in Mechanics.
