A device for performing a mechanical four-point bending test on a test piece and to a method for using one such device. The device comprises: a) structure for holding a first end of the test piece () and structure for holding a second end of the test piece (); b) traction wire () and converting structure () for converting a translational movement of said traction means into a rotational movement; c) conversion structure () for converting said rotational movement into bending deformation of the test piece. Said conversion structure comprises at least one first Cardan joint (), connected to the structure for holding the first end of the test piece.
