Beam Displacements Experiment (1-30-21)

For my CIV E #302 Solid Mechanics Lab course at SDSU. Intro is an open beam ceiling made of wood. Then, I go into the structural engineering lab at SDSU and apply loads to an aluminum beam. I measure the amount of displacement at several locations along the beam's length. The beam has moment of inertia equal to 2.5 inches to the fourth. It is an I-Beam whose height is 3". Using the principle of superposition, the results from Test 1 should be the sum of those from Tests 2 and 3. Outro is two San Diego Trolleys passing in El Cajon, CA.
