Abstract
A testing machine developed for the study of the deformational behaviour of plastics under bending loads complements high-accuracy tensile-creep testing machines and provides a more appropriate means for the testing of brittle fibre-plastics composites and plastics sandwich structures. The machine is suitable for applying constant loads and automatically recording the deflections of specimens at several points over periods of up to three months.Keywords
