Objective:
To perform bending test on a test specimen of a given material having a particular cross
section.

Equipment & Material:


Universal Testing Machine, Vernier caliper, Test specimen.

Universal Testing Machine in Bending Mode


Procedure:
1) Measure All the Dimensions Of the test specimen. i.e. length, width,

height with the help of Vernier Caliper if the test specimen is flat, and

length and diameter if the test specimenis cylindrical.

2) Install upper bending plate on the bottom of lower crosshead.

3) Adjust the test specimen in the lower crosshead of UTM.

4) Lower seat is fixed with plug.

5) Turn on the computer & come into operation of software state.

6) Select the bending test mode in the software.

7) Find the related bending test information from m/c software.

8) Press “Power On” on the top of control console & press the button “Pump On”
.at once.

9) Starting hydraulic oil pump power set.

10) Adjust the test load to zero & re-set the peak value.

11) Start the test or note the load & bending deformation.

12) Gradually keep the increasing the load or note the increasing bending

deformation initial the failing of specimen.

13) At failing of specimen by software or remove the failed specimen.

14) Draw the graph between, Load-deformation, Load- time, Load-

Displacement, Stress-Strain, Time-Stress, Time-Strain, Deformation-

Time, and Displacement-Time.

15) Repeat the experiment for various test specimens having different dimensions.

Observations and Calculations:


𝐿 = length of test specimen

𝑏 = width of test specimen ℎ = height of test specimen


𝑑 = diameter of the test specimen

𝑙1 = distance of point of application of load from the left end of the test specimen

𝑙2 = distance of point of application of load from the right end of the test specimen
𝐹 = applied force

𝜎 = normal stress

𝜖 = normal strain

𝜎
modulus of elasticity = 𝐸 =
𝜖
