This video demonstrates a three-point flexural bend test performed on plastics using an ADMET universal testing machine equipped with a three-point bend fixture. ASTM D790 is a standard test method ...

Static flexural testing has long been conducted because it is a simple method for evaluating all types of materials. Static flexural testing of composite materials, in particular, was discussed in my ...

Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...
