Solve A three-point bending test was performed on an aluminumoxide specimen having a circular cross section of radius 5.0mm (0.20 in.); the specimen fractured at a load of 3000 N (675lbf) when the distance between the support points was 40 mm(1.6 in.). Another test is to be performed on a specimen of thissame material, but one that has a square cross section of 15mm (0.6 in.) length on each edge. At what load would youexpect this specimen to fracture if the support point separationis maintained at 40 mm (1.6 in.)?
