Four Point Bending Test

Finite element modelling procedures to simulate the pipeline mechanical response during reel lay installation are calibrated from the available literature. A three-dimensional continuum model was developed to simulate the bending and straightening processes during reel lay installation and was compared with physical tests conducted within a bending rig and four-point bending test frame. A range of pipeline diameters, wall thicknesses, material grades and weld offsets are examined.

Proportional Limit Stress

Abstract The asymmetric four-point bending test for obtaining shear properties of wood was examined. Rectangular bars with various notches on top and bottom surfaces of western hemlock (Tsuga heterophylla Sarg.) were prepared as a specimen. The shear modulus, proportional limit stress, and shear strength were measured. The influence of notch configuration on the shear properties was examined independently by finite element calculations. The influence of notch configuration was not significant in experiments, while it was found relevant in finite element analyses. Although the pure shear stress condition could not be realized after the initiation of failure, the measurement of shear properties of solid wood simply by the asymmetric four-point bending test was feasible.

Collapse Behavior

To analyze the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum square tube under the bending moment load, a finite element simulation for the four-point bending test has been performed. Using an aluminum tube beam specimen partly inserted with two steel bars, local buckling deformation near the center of the tube beam was induced. Simulated moment-rotation angle curve obtained during the post-collapse period of the aluminum tube with steel bars were in good agreement with experimental result, which was comparable to the result obtained from Kecman's theory. Using a combination of the four-point bending test and its finite-element simulation, analysis of the local buckling and the bending collapse behavior of an aluminum tube beam could be quantitatively accomplished.
