The aim is to present our new method of compression, a compression tube instead of conventional compression screw and to investigate the difference of proximal locking screw bending resistance between compression screw application (6 mm wide contact) and compression tube (two contact points with 13 mm gap) application. We formed six groups each consisting of 10 proximal locking screws. On metal...

Bending property of Ti-Ni alloy dental castings was evaluated in comparison with that of Co-Cr alloy in a cantilever test. Heat treatment effect on the bending property was also investigated in relation to phase transformation. Ti-50.85Ni (mol%) alloy was used, and the shape of bending test specimens was half-rounded in cross section, 2.0mm in diameter. The bending test was carried out at 310K....

The modulus of elasticity (E) was determined in simple three- and four-point bending for an 0.0175" (3 X 0.008") stainless steel arch wire. Using variable light loads (10-160 g) to limit the elastic deflection of a wire to less than 5% of its beam length, the force-deflection profiles were determined for three nominal span lengths (L = 0.35", 0.75", and 1.00") in three-point bending and three n...

Laser forming is a modern process which is mainly used for forming metals. Different Lasers are used in this regard that includes Nd: YAG and CO2. In this study, forming bi-layer sheets of Aluminum/Ceramic by Laser was investigated. Furthermore, effect of Uniform and Gaussian heat flux distribution in different power, velocity, and beam diameters on bending angle was studied. FEM simulation ind...

Semi-Circular Bending (SCB) Test is a fast and accurate three-point bending test, which was originally used in rock mechanics. SCB test is going to be an accepted test method for asphalt concrete pavements. Different asphalt-mixture property-values such as tensile strength, stress intensity factor and fatigue can be obtained by this test. In this study, static and dynamic tests including SCB te...

Abstract: mechanical properties of AISIH 13 hot-work tool steel have been studied. Cast samples made of the modified new steel were homogenized and austenitized at different conditions, followed by tempering at the specified temperature ranges. Hardness, red hardness, three point bending test and Charpy impact test were carried out to evaluate the mechanical properties together with characteriz...

where M is the bending moment, F is the force applied, and D is the distance from the point of force application to the axis of rotation (moment arm length). This is perhaps best depicted in Figure 11.1. Using this equation, one can determine the bending moment applied in any given clinical circumstance. The bending moment has substantial clinical significance. The application of a bending mome...

This study investigates propagation of mode I crack in B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers by fracture mechanics approach. A new experimental analysis is done for notched B70 pre-stressed concrete sleepers with Replica test and image analysis. A scanning electron microscope test (SEM) and an image analysis are applied for the Replica test in order to determine crack length and crack mouth openin...

Many load bearing biological structures (LBBSs)-such as feather rachises and spicules-are small (<1 mm) but not microscopic. Measuring the flexural behavior of these LBBSs is important for understanding the origins of their remarkable mechanical functions. We describe a protocol for performing three-point bending tests using a custom-built mechanical testing device that can measure forces rangi...
