The model ME-8987 Super-Flex I-Beam illustrates beam stiffness and deflection. Because it flexes more than a
metal or wooden beam, students can easily observe that its vertical stiffness is greater than its horizontal stiff-
ness. Use the Super-Flex I-Beam to qualitatively demonstrate how a beam bends under various load and support
configurations.
Grids on the top and one side of the I-beam show the amount of deflection in a qualitative way. The grid on top is
approximately 25.4 cm (10 in) long and 3.8 cm (1.5 in) wide with 1.2 cm by 1.2 cm (0.5 in by 0.5 in) squares.
The grid on the side is approximately 12 cm long and 2 cm wide with 1 cm by 1 cm squares.
