OBJECTIVE:

To study the behaviour of mild steel rod subjected to gradual increasing equal loads at 1/3rd span and to determine its mechanical properties.

STEPS:

1. When you click on a Bending test on mild steel, a new window will open as shown below.
   

2. Click on the NEXT button at the bottom right corner to move to the next step.
   

3. Click on the specimen, then to measure the diameter click on vernier calliper, and then click on NEXT button.
   

4. Click on measuring scale to measure the length of the specimen.
   

5. Here, click on hand to mark center and 1/3rd points on the specimen to mount dial gauge.
   

6. Click on chalk marked specimen to keep it in experimental setup.
   

7. To start the loading click on GREEN button.
   

8. Click RED button to stop the loading process, click download data to download the test observations.
   

9. The failure pattern of the specimen is shown here, click NEXT button to view the graphs.
   

10. Click on VIEW DATA to view the test observations and VIEW SLOPE to view the slope drawn to the plot.
    

11. Click on VIEW DATA to view the test observations and VIEW SLOPE to view the slope drawn to the plot, then click NEXT button.
    

12. Enter the calculated value and then click CHECK to verify the result.
