Abstract: The load capabilities of 45# steel V-notched specimens under the spans of the supporters and the offsets between the punch and the mid-span of the specimens are studied by the self-made in-situ three-point bending device. Firstly, the relationship of load-delection curves and offsets and spans are analyzed theoretically. Secondly, the simulated minimum plastic zone radius of von Mises stress is applied to estimate the initiation direction of the crack. Then the experimental three-point bending loading-deflection curves under various offsets and spans are achieved and analyzed by in-situ TPB tests with 12 groups of V-notched specimens. Finally, according to the differences among the load-deflection curves, combining the in-situ images of specimen micro-structures, the initiation and propagation of the cracks due to bending loads are analyzed in real time. The relationship between macro-mechanical properties and micro-mechanical properties are established by in-situ observation. The difference of the load capabilities of materials under different three-point bending test parameters is analyzed from the perspective of damage mechanism.

Key words: three-point bending, offset, span, crack, in-situ observation
