Furthermore I aimed to see how the theoretical answers compared with the experimental answers, and to discuss why this is the case. Introduction As an engineer it is important to know how certain properties of a material will affect the overall outcome of the structure e.g. how much a beam deflects due to additional weight. Therefore the experiments carried out were to distinguish if the theoretical values contradict or coincide with the experimental values. This experiment is also used in real life situations during the testing procedures of the Central Deflection. In order to...
