Product Description

Bending Test Plastic Deformation

Mechanical stress, to which design elements are generally exposed, generates stresses in the affected component or the material. If these stresses are too large, there is plastic deformation of the material in addition to the elastic, reversible deformation. The component does not return fully to its original form after the deformation, resulting in a change of shape.

Learning Objectives And Experiments

1. Load on a beam with a point load
2. Plot a loadextension diagram and determine the nonlinear behaviour
3. Compare the load and relief curves
4. Demonstrate the invalidity of the superposition principle in the plastic region

Features

1. Observe and determine the transition from elastic to plastic deformation
2. Plot loadextension diagrams
