Lab Experiment On Buckling of Struts

The document describes measurements taken from three samples of a structural member under different loads. For each sample, the length, width, thickness, and moment of inertia are provided. Deflection readings were recorded at mid-span under loads of 30, 50, 70, 90, and 110 Newtons. Load-deflection graphs were plotted for each sample to determine the modulus of elasticity. Sample 1 had a modulus of 120, Sample 2 was 103.48, and Sample 3 was 140.
