Sample Holder, 3 Point Bending Fixture

MA097

Bend testing mounts with adjustable spacing (3-point bending)

SKU: MA097 Categories: ,

This set of holders has been designed for 3-point bending tests. The base is equipped with two supporting pin holders. These pin holders can easily be moved to the desired spacing thanks to the integrated ruler on the base. The top mount is the loading pin holder. It is fixed to the load cell and secured in place with a locking pin. A 4-point bending top applier is also sold separately (MA098).

FAQ

What is the elastic modulus in bending?
The elastic modulus in bending Ef : It is an intrinsic mechanical property of a material expressing the tendency of this material to bend. From the slope of the stress vs. strain graph during a flexural test and considering the geometry of the sample and the testing configuration (3-point bending), we can calculate the elastic modulus in bending. Although theoretically equivalent to the Young's modulus, these values may be different in experimental testing.

What is the area moment of inertia?
The area moment of inertia I is a quantity used in the calculation of an object's ability to resist bending. The area moment of inertia depends on the shape of the cross-section and is measured in units of mm4.
