In my last column, I discussed uniaxial flexural strength testing of fiber-reinforced ceramics, that is, simple three- or four-point bending of a strip of material of rectangular cross section (see ...

Flexural strength and stiffness are not basic material properties. They are the combined effects of a material’s basic tensile, compressive and shear properties. That is, when a flexural loading is ...

In order to measure the mechanical properties of materials in compression, tension, bending or torsion, a universal testing machine is utilized. This article outlines the two different types ...
