1. Discuss the effect of specimen dimensions and type and rate of loading on the test
results?
2. What is the purpose the cold bend test? Explain the characteristic of fracture in this
test?
3. Why the span length to depth ratio (L/d) in bending range from 6-12.
4. A cast iron beam of circular cross-section was tested in bending under a central load
and supported over a span of 80mm. If the modulus of resilience of this grade of cast
iron equals 0.196 kg.cm and the loads and corresponding deflections measured during
the test are as follows:
Load (kg) 150 300 450 600 750 900 1050 1100
Deflection (mm) 1.05 2.1 3.15 4.2 5.25 6.8 8.88 failure
5. A cast iron beam of a circular cross-section was simply supported over a span of 50 cm
and tested in bending under concentrated load at its mid-span. The modulus of elasticity
is 800 ton/cm2.
Find the following:
i- The diameter of the beam if the resilience is 0.2 ton.cm and the load at proportional
limit is 2000 Kg.
ii- The maximum Load on the beam if the maximum bending strength is 2.8 ton/cm 2.

6. A timber beam was centrally loaded; the distance between supports being 90 cm, the
cross-section of the beam was 2.5 cm width and 5 cm depth. If the loads and
corresponding deflections are as follows: -
Load (kg) 0 100 200 300 400 500 600 700 750
Deflection (mm) 0 4.75 9.52 14.3 19.02 23.86 27.2 36.10 failure
7. A timber beam of circular cross section simply supported over a span of 50 cm was
tested in bending under a central load. If the modulus of elasticity of this wood was 790
ton/cm2 and the loads versus mid span vertical deflection were as follows:
P, KN 0 6 10 14 18 22 26 27 28
Deflection, mm 0 0.5 0.8 1.2 1.5 2.0 3.0 4.0 5.0
