Bending Strength and Fracture Toughness W. B. Cao Topics Bending strength Fracture toughness Bending Strength Bending strength The bending strength is the resistivity of a test piece in the state of loading on bending at the moment of the rupture. It is besides the compressive and tensile strength an essential characteristic quantity of the mechanic strength of a material. The bending strength is influenced by the chemical composition and the structure. Bending strength Three point bending Four point bending Three point bending Three point bending The calculation formula of the bending strength for square respectively rectangular test pieces runs as follows: Conditions Samples should be chamfered. 12 Samples, for one data. Polished surface. No micro crack. Four point bending Four Point Bending The calculation formula of the bending strength for square respectively rectangular test pieces runs as follows: Fracture Toughness Fracture toughness Often perceived as the limiting factor for ceramics applications, is being improved to make ceramics competitive as engineering materials. Using fracture mechanics techniques, the critical stress-intensity factor (K1c), or fracture toughness of the material, is determined independent of the nature of the material. The 1 in the symbol K1c refers to the mode of loading of the specimen. In this instance, the load is parallel to the 1 or x material axis, producing a normal stress. When used with the symbol for fracture toughness, the numerals 2 and 3 refer to the shear loads acting on the y or z axes, respectively. There are several mechanical tests, including indentation methods, used to measure the fracture toughness of ceramics. Which one is chosen depends in part on the type of information needed. Four methods of fracture toughness evaluation Single edge notched beam (SENB) technique Chevron notched beam (CNB) technique Indentation fracture (IF) technique Single-edge-V-notched beam (SEVNB) technique Single edge notch
