Tensile Definition and 168 Threads

I know tensile test consist for direct tension, splitting tension, and flexural tension. Tensile test known as to know how the material behaves under the tension and to know how much of load the material can bear it before fracture. But for the splitting tensile test, i still confused. Why do we...

Hey folks, I've been looking around but can't piece this together as there are more than one equation and variable to take into account. My situation - I have a pmma material disc on an axis , the center hole (axis hole) is 20mm wide so a radius of 10mm, while the outer edge is at a radius of...

Steel and other metals data sheets and mill specs most commonly quote some tensile strength metric, like Proof, Yield or Ultimate Tensile Stress. Less common is the value for shear strength. Often as rule of thumb the allowable shear stress is taken as half the allowable tensile stress but, when...

My answer is A but the answer key is B. I don't understand why B. I would think B is the breaking point. Thanks

Help would very appreciated. Also I am new to this website so if something seems wrong please tell me :)

For quasi-brittle materials, there is an energetic size effect as well as a statistical size effect, as described here. However, it seems to require a stress gradient for it to play a role, as in the example given with a 3-point bending test. The stress at the middle of the fracture process...

I figure that there is a connection with how much a given forces displaces the rope in the perpendicularly direction. Obviously the more tension on the rope then there will be less displacement with a given force. I'm not sure how to progress from that point. Any other ideas on how to estimate...

Hello to all. I am new at PF. I am very happy to be here now that I know you. I am at the middle of a UTM (universal tensile machine) design. My machine is going to be a simple testing machine in which I only intent to measure the ultimate tensile strenght. That been said, I want to be as clear...
