Abstract
Four-point bending tests have been widely applied for investigating flexural behavior of different materials. However, there are no guidelines or standards relating to four-point bending tests for pipes. A steel pipe with a diameter of 154 mm and 3.4-mm wall thickness was instrumented with distributed fiber-optic strain sensors and tested in four-point bending. The measured strains at the crown, springlines, and invert deviated from results calculated using beam theory. This strain deviation is investigated using numerical analyses, and it is found that local deformations along the length of the pipe due to concentrated loads at load and support locations contributed to the deviation. Parametric studies are conducted using different geometries of wood support blocks, specimen lengths, and pipe thicknesses to investigate their impact on the strain distribution with the pipe. Recommendations for reducing the strain deviation at the midspan of the specimen are given for four-point bending tests carried out on the steel pipes.

Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
