wever, as these more highly stressed parts load while the stiff parts will take the brunt of the pass the elastic limit and lose stiffness, relief comes, more load is thrown on the parts that have retained work. their original stiffness, and the result is a maximum It is this principle of… … Figure 1.—Diagram of the loading apparatus for 2-bay and overhang test beams beam.
