      2.18.3 Some Special Cases

      It is useful now to consider some important special cases that arise very often when considering the bending deformation of materials.

      2.18.3.1 Four-point Bending Tests

      The previous analysis can be used to determine the stress and strain state in beams subject to four-point bending. The analysis will apply near the mid-plane between the planes normal to the beam axis that contain the contact points of the inner rollers used in the experiments. For this case σA=σT=σt=MT=ΔT=0 and the relations (2.235), (2.236), (2.240) and (2.241) reduce to the form

      (2.247)

      (2.248)

      It is noted from (2.211) that the quantities ε¯A+12ε^Ah and ε¯T+12ε^Th appearing in (2.242), (2.243) and (2.246) are the in-plane strains on the mid-plane x3=12h (i.e. the neutral plane) which are zero for the loading case under consideration.

      2.18.3.2 Plane Strain Bending

      Plane strain bending conditions are characterised by a zero transverse strain everywhere in the beam so that ε¯T=ε^T=0. It is also assumed that σA=σt=ΔT=0. It then follows that the relations (2.235), (2.236), (2.240) and (2.241) reduce to
