Simulation of material PUT characteristics on bending test equipment with 5 kN load.

Put material is a component located on the bending grip which functions as a support that is in direct contact with the test specimen. This material put often breaks and wears out due to too much pressure on the put material. The purpose of this study was to determine the strength of steel types SS 304, ASTM A36, and ST 41 as put materials with diameters of 3, 6, and 9 mm after being given a load of 5 kN. In this test, a simulation was carried out using SolidWorks 2017 R3. The yield strength for each type of steel is 207 MPa (SS 304), 250 MPa (ASTM A36), and 265 MPa (ST 41). One of the variables to determine the strength of the three Put Materials is to measure the stress simulation on the Put material when it is given a load of 5 kN using the software. The simulation results of the put stress on the material with a diameter of 3 mm are 382.3 MPa (SS 304) and 391.2 MPa (ASTM A36 and ST 41). For the simulation put stress material with a diameter of 6 mm is 251.9 MPa and 258 MPa (ASTM A36 and ST 41), while the simulation put the material diameter of 9 mm is 198 MPa (SS 304) and 202.4 MPa (ASTM A36 and ST 41). It can be concluded that the results of the simulation on the put material of the bending test tool with a load of 5 kN are on the ST 41 steel type with the diameter of the put material 6 and 9 mm.
