Three-point bending
For a three point bend test, the bending angle of the beam has to be small - so small that (theta)=tan(theta).... this is necessary to make a substitution of the reciprocal radius of curvature 1/R = M/EI... which then can be assumed to be the second derivative of the beam deflection.
Might sound stupid, but would the bending angle assumption be measured in degrees or radians?
