The primary application of the notched three point bending test (3PBT) is to determine fracture energy concrete. However, measurement setup also suitable for determining additional mechanical parameters: flexural tensile strength, modulus elasticity, and indirectly compressive strength also. aim this paper present calculation methods properties that can be determined from results a series in wh...

An advanced simulation process of a stainless steel member in ANSYS technology is described this paper. A three-point bending test hot rolled material grade 1.4301 (AISI 304) has been conducted. The cross-section the beam was IPE80, with span supports equal to 240 mm. results experimental were compared materially and geometrically nonlinear numerical analysis. In order describe behavior materia...

A novel Three-Point Bending Beam Test (3-PBT) using a Dynamic Shear Rheometer (DSR) with linear drive motor is introduced for testing asphalt binder at low temperature conditions. This 3-PBT in DSR can be used as surrogate (BBR) tests. Advantages comparison to BBR are that (i) works without harmful cooling medium ethanol, (ii) the amount of significantly lower (using material equivalent 10% tes...

Abstract In-situ three-point bending tests and finite element modeling based on the cohesive zone model were developed to study stress evolution cracking behavior of Cr coated Zr-4 alloy for accident tolerant fuel claddings. The initiation propagation micro-cracks captured by in-situ observation predicted numerical simulation. results showed that vertical cracks first initiated from coating sur...

It is well known that electromagnetic phenomena are often observed preceding earthquakes. However, the mechanism by which these electromagnetic waves are generated during the fracture and deformation of rocks has not been fully identified. Therefore, in order to examine the relationship between the electromagnetic phenomena and the mechanical properties of rocks, uniaxial compression and three-...

The three-point bending strength and fracture behavior of single oriented crossed-lamellar structure in Scapharca broughtonii shell were investigated. The samples for bending tests were prepared with two different orientations perpendicular and parallel to the radial ribs of the shell, which corresponds to the tiled and stacked directions of the first-order lamellae, respectively. The bending s...
