What is a three-point bend test?
A three-point bend test is a widely used method for determining the flexural properties of materials. It involves applying a load at the midpoint of a specimen supported at two points, creating a bending force.

Materials Testing: Theory and Practice Pt. 1
Materials testing is often the last step in the manufacturing process. Yet, quality is the result of both the process and the material. If the material that goes into the product is inadequate or defective, then the product may be deficient or faulty.
