Pure beam bending

Fig. 1.4 The temperature dependence of the thermal equilibrium viscosity of liquid Vitreloy 1 compared with experimental data from viscosity experiments (O), and beam-bending experiments ( ). The inset gives the temperature dependence of the free volume of this alloy. The viscosities of many pure metals (A), including Zr, Ti, Ni, Be, and Cu, are shown close to the temperature axis (from Masuhr et al. (1999) courtesy of the APS).

It is also possible to measure microwave spectra of some more strongly bound Van der Waals complexes in a gas cell ratlier tlian a molecular beam. Indeed, tire first microwave studies on molecular clusters were of this type, on carboxylic acid dimers [jd]. The resolution tliat can be achieved is not as high as in a molecular beam, but bulk gas studies have tire advantage tliat vibrational satellites, due to pure rotational transitions in complexes witli intennolecular bending and stretching modes excited, can often be identified. The frequencies of tire vibrational satellites contain infonnation on how the vibrationally averaged stmcture changes in tire excited states, while their intensities allow tire vibrational frequencies to be estimated. 

Rotating Beam Fatigue Test for Steel Cords. The purpose of this test method is to evaluate steel cord for pure bending fatigue (121). The test sample consists of a 3-mm diameter mbber embedded with steel cord. Different bending stress levels are appHed and the time to failure is recorded. The test stops at 1.44 million cycles. The fatigue limit is calculated from S—N (stress—number of cycles) curve. 

Flexural strength is determined using beam-shaped specimens that are supported longways between two rollers. The load is then applied by either one or two rollers. These variants are called the three-point bend test and the four-point bend test, respectively. The stresses set up in the beam are complex and include compressive, shear and tensile forces. However, at the convex surface of the beam, where maximum tension exists, the material is in a state of pure tension (Berenbaum Brodie, 1959). The disadvantage of the method appears to be one of sensitivity to the condition of the surface, which is not surprising since the maximum tensile forces occur in the convex surface layer. 

In contrast to the relatively limited number of experimental approaches utilized to determine electron collisional information for C02 laser species, many different types of experiments have been employed in the determination of heavy particle rates as a function of temperature, for temperatures slightly below room temperature up to several thousand degrees. At room temperature, measurements have been obtained using sound absorption and/or dispersion as well as impact-tube and spectrophone techniques. High temperature rate data have been obtained primarily from shock tube experiments in which electron beam, infrared emission, schlieren, and interferometric diagnostic techniques are employed. For example, as many as 36 separate experiments have been conducted to determine the relaxation rate of the C02 bending mode in pure C02 [59]. The reader is referred to the review by Taylor and Bitterman [59] of heavy-particle processes of importance to laser applications for a detailed description and interpretation of available experimental and theoretical data. 

The effect was first observed after uniaxial deformation, but such deformation is not restricted to pure tension and compression. Plastic bending, for example, causes true macrostress (Fig. 16-2), but the deformation mode is predominantly a tension or compression of layers parallel to the neutral axis of the beam. The longitudinal residual stress indicated by x-rays is therefore the sum of true macrostress and pseudo-macrostress, and the x-ray result will be numerically larger at either surface than the result obtained by dissection. 

Prismatic beam samples (30 x 60 x 700 mm) of RubCon were tested for a cross, so-called pure bend, by two equal concentrated forces symmetrically located at an average third of the samples span and simultaneous temperature influence. Foading was carried out step by step to the attainment of the normal stress in the middle span of 5.7, 6.1, and 6.5 MPa. 

Beams were loaded using two symmetrically located concentrated loads. Such loading draft is appropriate for a so-called pure bend and is optimum for examining the influence of transverse forces in zones between supports and loads. The value of the transverse forces in these zones is constant, and bending moments are increased from zero on supports up to a maximum in cross-sections of a beam under loads. Beam samples were tested on a laboratory press. Loading was done with speeds of500 kg/min up to... 

Loading was realized by equal concentrated forces at thirds of the span, and beam deflections were measured in the middle of the span and on the boundaries of the pure bending zone.

The stress state in a bent beam is usually more complex than that encountered in pure bending, with non-uniform bending moments and shearing forces. In these cases, the normal stresses produced by the bending moment are still given by Eq. (4.6) but, in addition, shearing stresses t may be present such that...

The bending as well as the torsional stiffness of the beam elements of the girder are updated since the identified modes contain besides pure bending also coupled bending-torsion modes. They are adjusted by correcting the Young s and the shear modulus, E and G, respectively ... 

For pure bending, the nominal stress at the root of the notch (7n is given by (7n = M/I)y, where I is the second moment of area (= Bt / 2 for a rectangular beam) andy is the distance to the neutral axis.
