How the single rip trouser tear method works
The method takes its name from the specimen shape, where a single cut partway into the sample creates two ‘legs’, similar to the shape of a pair of trousers.

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.
