Showing 6 experiments that use the Bending Accessory.
Three Point Bending
In this lab, a Three-Point Bend test is performed on a round rod. The distance between the anvils is varied, and the resulting effect on the stiffness...
Round Rod Bending
In this lab, a three-point bend test is performed on a round rod. The Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated. Materials tested include...
Bend Testing Beams
In this lab, a Three-Point Bend Test is performed on the ABS plastic beams included with the PASCO Structures System. Then, the Flexural Elastic Modulus...
Bend Testing Cast Beams
In this lab, a three-point bend test is performed on Plaster of Paris cast beams and the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material is calculated. The maximum...
Photoelasticity
Photoelasticity is used to determine the stress distribution in birefringent plastics, such as polycarbonate. This experiment uses the clear polycarbonate...
Four Point Bending
In this lab, a Four-Point Bend Test is performed on ABS plastic beams from the PASCO Structures System and the Flexural Elastic Modulus for the material...
