Consider a standard flexural strength specimen of length L, width a, and depth a. Assume center point loading where the load at failure from the test machine is P. Derive the equation for calculating the modulus of rupture of the beam in terms of P, L, and a
Procedure:
1. Measure the dimensions of the specimen and the record them in the date sheet
2. Turn the specimen on its side with respect to its position as molded and center in on life support
blocks.
3. Center the loading system in relation to the applied force.
4. Bring the load applying-block in contact with the surface of the specimen at the center and
apply a load between 3 and 6% of the estimated load.
5. Grind cap, or use leather shims on the specimen contact surface to eliminate any gap in excess
of 0.004 inch (0.10 mm). Gaps in excess of 0.15 inch (0.38 mm) shall be eliminated by capping
or grinding.
6. Apply the load on the specimen continuously and without shock. The load shall be applied at
the constant rate to the breaking. Apply the load at such a rate that constantly increases the
extreme fiber stresses between 125 and 175 psi/min. (0.86 and 1.21 MPa/min) when calculated
until rupture occurs.
7. Take three measurements across each dimension (one at each edge and at the…
