[Application of Modulus] A polymer sample with 1/4 in by 1/4 inch cross section is supported in flexural test with distance 4 inches. A load in applied at the mid-point. Determine the Emax when the sample is deflected by 1/16 inch. Answer in unit of lbf.

Step 1
I = (1/12)bh^3 where b = 1/4 inch (width of the sample) h = 1/4 inch (height of the sample) I = (1/12)(1/4)(1/4)^3 = 0.00002604 in^4 Show more…

A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminum oxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 3.5 mm (0.14 in.); the specimen fractured at a load of 950 N (215 lbf) when the distance between the support points was 50 mm (2.0 in.). Another test is to be performed on a specimen of this same material, but one that has a square cross section of 12 mm (0.47 in.) length on each edge. At what load would you expect this specimen to fracture if the support point separation is 40 mm (1.6 in.)?

A three-point bend test is performed on a block of ZrO2 that is 8 in. long, 0.50 in. wide, and 0.25 in. thick and is resting on two supports 4 in. apart. When a force of 400 lb is applied, the specimen deflects 0.037 in. and breaks. Calculate (a) the flexural strength; and (b) the flexural modulus, assuming that no plastic deformation occurs.

A tensile test uses a test specimen that has a gage length of 50 mm and an area = 216 mm2. During the test, the specimen yields under a load of 97,658 N. The corresponding gage length = 50.23 mm - this is at the 0.2% yield point. The maximum load of 168,655 N is reached at a gage length = 61 mm and the specimen fractures at a gage length of 71 mm. Determine the modulus of elasticity in MPa.
