Flexure testing method for machine or construction element, has tested element secured to test bed and rigidly coupled to transmission arm receiving test force at its opposite ends

摘要

The flexure testing method has the tested element (16) secured to a test bed (6) at one end and rigidly coupled to a transmission arm (5) at the other end, for application of a test force with a repetitively reversing direction vector, with measurement of the resulting flexure moment at a point between the ends of the transmission arm, for comparison with a required flexure moment. A second flexure moment is measured at a second point between the ends of the transmission arm, for calculation of the center of gravity plane for determining the actual flexure moment. An Independent claim is also included for a flexure testing stand for machine and construction elements.
