Question

In which method of determination of yield point is the load applied uniformly on the beam?

(a) Divider method

(b) High beam method

(c) Drop of beam method

(d) Extension under load method

I got this question in my homework.

This interesting question is from Aircraft Materials topic in chapter Testing Aircraft Materials of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

Correct option is (c) Drop of beam method

Best explanation: The beam is kept balanced while the load is applied uniformly in the drop of beam method. The yield point stress can be found through this. Divider method is another way of finding the yield point. Extension under load method is used to determine yield strength.
