The moment of inertia (I) can be calculated using the formula: I = (1/12) * b * h^3 where b is the width of the plate and h is the thickness of the plate. Show more…

A three-point bending test is performed on a spinel $\left(\mathrm{MgAl}_{2} \mathrm{O}_{4}\right)$ specimen having a rectangular cross section of height $d=3.8 \mathrm{~mm}(0.15 \mathrm{in}$.) and width $b=9 \mathrm{~mm}(0.35 \mathrm{in}$.); the distance between support points is $25 \mathrm{~mm}(1.0 \mathrm{in}$.). (a) Compute the flexural strength if the load at fracture is $350 \mathrm{~N}\left(80 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{f}}\right)$. (b) The point of maximum deflection $\Delta y$ occurs at the center of the specimen and is described by $$ \Delta y=\frac{F L^{3}}{48 E I} $$ where $E$ is the modulus of elasticity and $I$ is the cross-sectional moment of inertia. Compute $\Delta y$ at a load of $310 \mathrm{~N}\left(70 \mathrm{lb}_{\mathrm{}}\right)$.
