COMBINED BENDING AND TORSION APPARATUS

This apparatus is designed to determine what levels of combined bending and torsion cause elastic failure in different materials, and to compare results with various theories of failure. The unit uses specially machined necked specimens made from round bar. The specimen is clamped at one end to the base plate and at the other end to a counterbalanced circular loading plate.

The loading plate is suspended using a cord and counterbalance to ensure the specimen is unloaded prior to testing. The loading plate is graduated in 15° intervals, each with an indent to locate a special hanger that enables pure bending, pure torque, or combined loads to be applied depending on position.

In the event of specimen failure, safety is ensured by set screws attached to the underside of the base plate.

Test specimens in mild steel, aluminium alloy, and brass are supplied, with optional test specimens also available separately. Test rods of the same specimen materials are also supplied so that specimens of differing neck geometry can be produced.
