Computed tomography and a 3-point bending test were performed on the metacarpal bones of adult production pigs to test the hypothesis that bone strength is strongly correlated with areal bone mineral density (BMD) in this population. The aim of the study was to subject material from adult production pigs grouped by BMD to 3-point bending, to test this hypothesis and determine any correlations. ...

The aim of this paper is to study the bending properties of tail flukes of a dolphin. The bending test was carried out to obtain the displacements on different test points of a fluke. The Young’s moduli of the ligamentous layer and the dense connective tissue in the flukes were obtained from the tensile test and the compression test. In order to establish an FEM model for bending deformation of...

in this study, the microstructure and properties of foam glass obtained as a result of the interaction of the waste glass with sic as the foaming agent and fe2o3 as the oxidizing agent have been investigated using scanning electron microscopy (sem), as well as three-point bending and pycnometery tests. first, the temperature and optimized amount of sic for making foam glass was determined. the ...

There is increased usage of flexible electronics recently in various applications such as wearable devices, displays and sensors. Studies on the durability conductive metal traces under cyclic mechanical loading crucial since these conductors will be subjected to repeated bending. In this work, electrical behavior silver printed was tested using three-point bend test. The samples were polymer t...
