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...

Whole bone bending tests are commonly used in mechanical evaluation of long bones. Reliable information about the midshaft can only be obtained if the bending moment is uniformly distributed along the shaft, and if the distribution of the bending stress is not adversely influenced by rigid clamping of the bone ends. A testing device was developed to determine bending stiffness of long bones in ...

Ultra-thin chips of less than 20 lm become flexible, allowing integration of silicon IC technology with highly flexible electronics such as food packaging sensor systems or healthcare and sport monitoring tags as wearable patches or even directly in clothing textile. The ultra-thin chips in these products will be bent to a very high curvature, which puts a large strain on the chips during use. ...
