1. Place supporting I beam on the lower cross head and the upper 2. Adjust the two sliding load bearers on the I-beam so they are at equal distance from the center. 3. Place the test bar on the sliding load bearer and lower the upper load bearer to touch the bar 4. Adjust all load bearers to the marks indicated on the bending bar. the deflection of the bar at the upper 5. Place gauge or displacement transducer measure a dial load bearer. indicator(optional to zero. 6. Set the dial gauge or displacement transducer(optional) and the force data sheet provided 7. apply the load and record both the load and the deflection on the calculate the theoretical deflection 8. Assume Young's of elasticity E for steel is 2.1 x 105 Numm y and compare with the measured value. Inversely from the measured value of maximum deflection, calculate the modulus of elasticity E
