Theory of the Four Point Dynamic Bending test Part II: Influences of Overhanging Beam Ends Extra Moving Masses  Theory of the Four Point Dynamic Bending test Part II: Influences of Overhanging Beam Ends 2. Extra Moving Masses DWW-2002-083 Author: A.C. Pronk Date: August 2002  Abstract This report deals with the influences of a) the extra moving masses and b) the overhanging beam ends on the measured deflections in the dynamic four point bending test. The analytical solution is deduced for both cases. In the case of overhanging beam-ends the exact analytical solution can be obtained directly. However, if extra moving masses (point loads) are involved the numerical value for the analytical solution has to be obtained by an iteration procedure. In the included Excel files this value is obtained after nine iterations starting with the values obtained for the case with only overhanging beam-ends. Only when the chosen frequency is near the Eigen frequencies of the system more iteration will be necessarily. After obtaining the correct values for the deflection and the phase lag at an arbitrarily position on the beam the modified first order approximation is applied for the backcalculation of the input values for the stiffness modulus and (material) phase lag. In this way an impression is obtained for the mistakes made in the backcalculation procedures. Next to the chapters dealing with the theory a chapter “Guidelines” is given for the use of the included zipped Excel files.
