Three-point vs four-point bend testing
In a three-point bend test, force is applied at a single midpoint. In a four-point bend test, two loading noses distribute the load over a larger section of the specimen.

What is elongation at break?
Elongation at break measures how much a material can stretch before it fractures. Expressed as a percentage of the original gauge length, it is a key indicator of ductility and toughness.

What is fastening torque
Fastening torque refers to the rotational force applied to tighten a fastener, typically measured in Newton-metres (N·m) or pound-force inches (lbf·in). The correct torque value ensures adequate clamping without overstressing components.
