This document discusses bending tests which are used to determine a material's strength and elastic properties by applying forces to its surface. The bending test uses a universal testing machine to apply forces to a test specimen in three or four-point bending configurations to induce internal stresses. The test results are used to evaluate a material's strength, ductility and failure modes under bending forces.
