Question

The specimen of the bending test must be taken only parallel to the grain.

(a) True

(b) False

I had been asked this question in class test.

This is a very interesting question from Aircraft Materials topic in section Testing Aircraft Materials of Aerospace Materials & Processes

Answer 1

The correct choice is (b) False

To explain I would say: There is typically no such particular requirement that the specimen of the bending test must be taken only parallel to the grain. It is often required for the specimen to be taken in both parallel and across the grain.
