    PRACTIAL TASK 1

    EXPERIMENT : SHEAR IN RUBBER BLOCK

    1. INTRODUCTION :
    Shear stress are extremely common in engineering. A material is in shear if the parallel
    forces applied to it tend to slide on face of the material over an adjcent area. Shear strain
    is equal to displacemant angle (measured in radian) that occur due to shear stress. The
    ratio of shear stress to shear strain is a constant for a particular material within the limit
    of proportionally.

    2. OBJECTIVES OF EXPERIMENT :
     To determine the variation of deflection with applied load.
     To investigate the relationship between shear stress and shear strain.
     To find the modulus rigidly of the rubber block.

    3. EQUIPMENT/APPARATUS :
     Rubber Block in Shear Apparatus
     Load
     Vernier Caliper

    4. THEORY :

    Shear surface
    θ

    W
    Figure 3. A block (L x h x t) subjected to shearing stress deforms by an angle θ

    The shearing stress, τ developed in a body when elastic restoring forces are parallel to
    the cross-sectional area of the body;
    τ=

    Where;
    τ = the shear stress
    V = shear load
    A = the cross-sectional area parallel to the applied load

    The shearing strain is define as the ratio of displacement, x to the transverse


    dimension, L. Thus;
    Shear Strain, ϕ = tan θ =

    In practice, since x is much smaller than 1, so, tan θ ≅ θ, therefore;


    Shear strain, ϕ = θ (measured in radian)

    The modulus of rigidity, G of the rubber is;


    G=

    5. PROCEDURES :
    i. First, a load hanger were hang at the free end of the rubber block.
    ii. The dial gauge were set to zero.
    iii. A load was put, starting from 5N.
    iv. The reading of the dail gauge (which represent the deformation of the rubber block)
    was taked.
    v. The step of iii and iv were repeated for another 9 load, in 5N increment.
    vi. The reading are recorded in the table.
    6. DATA & RESULTS :

    Dimension of Rubber Block:


    Height, h = 0.15 m
    Width, L = 0.102 m
    Thickness, t = 0.03 m

    1 5N 1 x 10^-5 m
    2 10N 2 x 10^-5 m
    3 15N 4 x 10^-5 m
    4 20N 5 x 10^-5 m
    5 25N 7 x 10^-5 m
    6 30N 8 x 10^-5 m
    7 35N 9 x 10^-5 m
    8 40N 1.1 x 10^-4 m
    9 45N 1.2 x 10^-4 m
    10 50N 1.4 x 10^-4 m

    7. DISCUSSIONS :
     Calulate the Shear Stress and Shear Strain for each of the load.
     Plot the Load versus Deflection. State the relationship between load and deflection.
     Plot the Shear Stress versus Shear Strain graph for the sample. State the relationship
    between Shear Stress and Shear Strain.
     Calculate the value of shear modulus, G
    SHEAR STRESS
    SHEAR STRAIN
    Load versus Deflection.

    Relationship between load and deflection.


    From the graph plotted above, we can see that the there is a deformation on a rubber block as
    load is applied. Pattern of the graph shows that as the larger load applied, the deflection on
    one side of the rubber block increases.
    Shear Stress versus Shear Strain

    Relationship between Shear Stress and Shear Strain.


    From the graph plotted above, we can see that the modulus of rigidity and Young’modulus of
    the block. Pattern of the graph shows that the larger shear stress, the shear strain are also
    increases.
    Value of shear modulus, G
    8. CONCLUSIONS :
    Based on the result obtained from the experiment, the difference in displacement may be
    due to the error of the eqipment of experiment. Besides that,the value of poison ratio of
    rubbe used may not accurate, which load applied consist a plate of steel. The steel may
    effect the final result of the displacement.
