three-point bend test, 3-point bend test, 3-point bending test
mehaaniline katse/teim, mille korral kahel toel asetsevat katsekeha/teimikut koormatakse ühes punktis mõjuva välisjõuga - kolmepunktilise sümmeetrilise koormusega (vt paindeteim; vrd 4-punkti paindeteim), a test method to measure the bending properties of materials in which a simple beam is subjected to three-point symmetrical loading (see: bend test; compare: four-point bend test)
