An effective method to investigate short crack growth behaviour by reverse bending testing

A reverse bending rig has the advantage of relatively cheap construction compared with servo-controlled machines, and its robustness and reliability make it ideally suited to long-term testing programmes. In this paper, the details of the mechanical mechanism of a bending rig, the methods of its str...
