Bending Test
The Bending Test is a method used to evaluate the mechanical properties of materials, particularly their strength and flexibility. In this test, a sample material is subjected to a bending force until it deforms or breaks. The results help engineers and scientists understand how materials will perform under stress in real-world applications.
This test is commonly applied to various materials, including metals, plastics, and composites. By measuring the amount of force required to bend the material and the degree of deformation, researchers can determine important properties such as yield strength, tensile strength, and ductility. These insights are crucial for material selection in construction and manufacturing.
