4-point bend loading = [3] for four-point bending test where the loading span is 1/2 of the support span (rectangular cross section) σ f = F L b d 2 {\displaystyle \sigma _{f}={\frac {FL}{bd^{2}}}} [ 4 ] for four-point bending test where the loading span is 1/3 of the support span (rectangular cross section)
The flexural strength is stress at failure in bending. It is equal to or slightly larger than the failure stress in tension. Flexural strength, also known as modulus of rupture, or bend strength, or transverse rupture strength is a material property, defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.

In a three-point bend test, a fatigue crack is created at the tip of the notch by cyclic loading. The length of the crack is measured. The specimen is then loaded monotonically. A plot of the load versus the crack opening displacement is used to determine the load at which the crack starts growing.
The head loss Δh (or h f) expresses the pressure loss due to friction in terms of the equivalent height of a column of the working fluid, so the pressure drop is =, where: Δh = The head loss due to pipe friction over the given length of pipe (SI units: m); [b]

A beam deforms and stresses develop inside it when a transverse load is applied on it. In the quasi-static case, the amount of bending deflection and the stresses that develop are assumed not to change over time.
ΔE is the fluid's mechanical energy loss, ξ is an empirical loss coefficient, which is dimensionless and has a value between zero and one, 0 ≤ ξ ≤ 1, ρ is the fluid density, v 1 and v 2 are the mean flow velocities before and after the expansion. In case of an abrupt and wide expansion, the loss coefficient is equal to one. [1]
The bar breaker experiment comprises a very rigid frame (d) and a massive connecting rod (b). The rod is held on one side by a cast iron bar (c) that is going to be broken in the experiment and, at the other end, by a nut (a) that is used to compensate the thermal expansion.
