With a simple sample geometry, a 3-point-bend test can be used to obtain stress-strain behavior, elastic modulus in bending (flexural modulus), and failure limits in bending. The standards ASTM E855, ...

As the name implies, the Short Beam Shear test subjects a beam to bending, just as flexural testing methods do, but the beam is very short relative to its thickness. For example, ASTM D 2344 1 ...

A method has been developed for calculating the nominal wall thickness of matching pipe for certain sizes of branch connections and stress intensification factor (SIF) and for designing branch ...

President, Wyoming Test Fixtures Inc. Because composite structures are subjected to flexural loading in typical applications, it is not surprising that flexure testing of composites is commonly ...
