Bending Device

Using this accessory for the universal material teste a bending bar is investigated. An I-section steel beam is used as the base. This is straightforwardly bolted to the lower cross-member on the. This is mounted on two supports and loaded with a point force generated by the tester. By sliding the bearing it is possible to apply the force in different positions and change the support width. The influence of the modulus of elasticity and planar moment of inertia is also demonstrated. Using the apparatus, the relationship between load and elastic deformation can be demonstrated.
