It can be used both in laboratory exercises,and in conjunction with theoretical work on twist andbending. Its size and weight makes it easy to carrybetween classrooms.TwistYou use twist tests to determine and compare themodulus of rigidity for different materials and to demonstratethe deformation formula.BendingYou use bending tests to determine the modulus ofelasticity of different materials. You also use themto demonstrate, for example, the relation betweenload, moment of inertia, distance between supports,modulus of elasticity, and deflection.The test pieces for bending tests are of different dimensions,so you can determine the relation betweenmoment of inertia and dimension of a material.
