Bend Test (Three point flexural test)● The Flexural test measures the force required to bend a beam under 3 point loading conditions. The data
is often used to select materials for parts that will support loads without flexing.
● The test provides values for the modulus of elasticity in bending, flexural stress, flexural strain and the
flexural stress-strain response of the material.
● The main advantage of a three point flexural test is the ease of the specimen preparation and testing.
● The flexural modulus is used as an indication of a material’s stiffness when flexed.
● However, this method also has some disadvantages: the results of this method are sensitive to specimen
and loading geometry and strain rate.

● Bend ten different types of wood and compare the stress/strain plots. ● Determine the stress/strain plot of the each type of wood when soaked
with water vs. when completely dry. ● Calculate the modulus of elasticity.
