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...

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...

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 ...

Hydrogen embrittlement affected by three types of plating (low-P and high-P electroless Ni-P electrolytic Zn-platin) was investigated means slow-strain-rate three-point bending test on aluminum alloys (2017-T3, 6061-T6 7075-T651). generated the zinc absorbed alloy substrates, trap sites in substrates for hydrogen differed between plating. able to be evaluated tests plated alloys. Zinc did not c...
