4 point bending

As the name implies, bending tests are carried out to ensure that a substrate (e.g. ceramic, FR4 board or silicon) has sufficient resilience to withstand a specified bend strain. The sample is bent between three or four points to a specified displacement or arc.

For composite materials the bend strength of different reinforcing web patterns and their direction can be investigated.

Data is collected in the form of force versus bend deflection. From this bend curvature, stress and strain can be calculated. In certain FR4 bending applications, parallel to the bending test, the board resistance is measured.

XYZTEC is one of the world's leading manufacturers for testing systems that can be used for dynamic material testing. With a few simple modifications our standard Condor series becomes a customized solution for this test.
