An improved means of obtaining the elastic constants of component-lead-board assemblages from two three-point bending tests and one four-point torsion test is proposed. The suggested method models the three-point bending test as an orthotropic plate and uses the experimentally obtained bending and torsion results in a standard nonlinear least square procedure to determine the rigidities in the x and y directions and the Poisson’s ratios directly. Numerical simulation of the method indicates that the beam model overestimates the elastic modulii by 4 to 7 percent and the corresponding rigidities by 7 to 13 percent.

Abstract The analysis of bending and buckling of orthogonally stiffened plates may be simplified by conceptually replacing the plate-stiffener combination by an “equivalent” homogeneous orthotropic plate of constant thickness. This procedure requires the determination of the four elastic rigidity constants which occur in the theory of thin orthotropic plates. Methods are presented whereby these quantities may be determined analytically in terms of the elastic constants and geometrical configuration of the component parts of the structure.

Vibrated concrete (VC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) have a substantially different composition, resulting in dissimilar mechanical properties regarding cracking behaviour. The critical value of the mode I stress-intensity factor KICis an appropriate fracture parameter for evaluating fracture toughness and can be obtained from three-point bending tests (3PBT) on small, notched specimens. Subsequent determination of the energy release rate thus allows to examine the crack propagation and fracture process of both concrete types. This paper describes the results of such 3PBTs on samples, made from VC and SCC. Evaluation of the cracking behaviour, derived from these results, reveals remarkable differences.

This paper describes the determination of a relative delamination size of the skin to the honeycomb core of the honeycomb sandwich panel using the Finite Element Method approach. In the analysis, the honeycomb sandwich panel was modelled in the actual dimension using CATIA. The delamination of two different sizes (10 mm diameter and 30 mm diameter) were modelled to simulate the delamination cases. Using Nastran/Patran, the models underwent a three-point-bending test in order to simulate a result. The results were compared between the case of no delamination, 10 mm delamination, and 30 mm delamination. From the simulation, there was a significant difference of displacement of the skin (facing) between the 10 mm diameter delamination and the 30 mm diameter delamination.

The main purpose of this study is to investigate the effects of the stress path, size and shape of the specimen, on the optimum values of the plastic input parameters of Concrete Damaged Plasticity-CDP- model of the ABAQUS software. This study concentrates on eccentricity, dilatation angle and viscosity input parameters. To finding optimum values of the mentioned parameters, an objective function which estimates the error of the model predictions was defined and tried to minimize. For evaluating the effect of the stress path on this optimization procedure, four different standard tests were simulated by the ABAQUS software: uniaxial compression, dual compression, dual-border cut specimen and three-point bending tests. For studying the effect of the size of the specimen, the three-point bending test, with three different sizes of the beam were modeled in the ABAQUS software. Furthermore, for investigating the effect of the specimen shape on the input parameters, a notched disk in a tensile stress field was modeled. Obtained results demonstrated that the path of the stress can influence significantly on the optimum values of the input parameters, while it was revealed that the CDP model can automatically take into account the size and shape effects in the simulation.

Thermal Barrier coatings were tested in three point bending tests, combined with acoustic emission evaluation. The test specimens consist of a 2 mm substrate with a 0.1 mm FeCrAlY bondcoat and a 0.3 mm ZrO2/Y2O3 93/7.8 weight % topcoat. Both the topcoat and the bondcoat were air plasma sprayed under varying conditions of the substrate cooling and the length of the plasma flame. On investigating the microstructure of the coatings, using light and electron microscopy, differences could be observed, due to the various spraying techniques. The coated specimens were tested in a tensile testing machine equiped with a special tool for three point bending tests. During bending, acoustic emissions from the coating were measured, using a two channel acoustic emission apparatus. Two types of AE sensors were used, namely a 150 kHz resonance sensor and a 0.1 −1 MHz wide band sensor. The various coatings show different AE patterns, especially the bondcoats which showed differences according to the spraying techniques. The use of wide band sensors had some advantages, however they were less sensitive than resonance sensors, they take signals that were received by the resonance ones. After testing, the specimens were prepared and microscopically investigated. Herewith it was possible to establish a relationship between the measured AE signal and the type of coating and coating failure.

The paper presents the results of mechanical tests of three types of rocks from stone mines in Poland. Compression tests of cubic samples, three-point bending tests of beams, bending of beams with notch and testing of tensile strength using the quasi-Brazilian method were performed. Based on the tests, the compressive strength, tensile strength, Young's modulus, and Poisson's ratios were determined. The stress intensity factor and critical strain energy release rate in mode I were determined from the bending test of the notched beams. The determined values were used as parameters of computer models which are used to verify the authors’ method of predicting the crack propagation in the Abaqus FEA system.

Two types of rectangular orthodontic archwires; NiTiTM and 40oCuNiTi, were heat treated by Direct Electric Resistance Heat Treatment (DERHT) using different electric currents for 4 s. Their mechanical properties were then evaluated by micro hardness and three-point bending tests. After applying 4.5-5.5 A current, the hardness of NiTiTM increased with the increased current, whereas the change in hardness of 40oCuNiTi was slight. When 6 A current was applied, the hardness of the midspan of both wires significantly decreased. From the three-point bending test, unloading forces of NiTiTM increased after treating with 5.5 A current, while those of 40oCuNiTi decreased. However, both specimens lost their superelasticity when applied with 6 A current. In conclusion, after DERHT, various changes in mechanical properties can be noted in the different types of nickel titanium archwire.
