A three-point bending test is performed on a glass specimen having a rectangular cross section of height 5.3 mm and width 11.6 mm; the distance between support points is 50 mm.

Required:
a. Calculate the flexural strength (in MPa) if the load at fracture is 283 N. (Round up the final number to integer-no decimal please.)
b. What is the deflection, Δy=__________ mm, for a load of 265 N if the elastic modulus if the glass is 66 GPa?

Respuesta :

Answer:

a) 65.139 MPa

b) 17490 GPa

Explanation:

a) calculate the flexural strength

we now that for a three-point bending test the bending moment will occur at the midsection

Max stress ( flexural strength ) = MY / I

Max stress can be expressed as ;  3/2 * ( F*l / b*d^2 )  ------- ( 1 )

F ( load at fracture ) = 283

l (distance between support point ) = 50

b = 11.6

d = 5.3

substitute given data into equation 1 above

= 3/2 * (( 283 * 50) /( 11.6 * 5.3^2) )

= 3/2 * ( 14150 / 325.844 )

=  3/2 * 43.425  =  65.139 MPa

B ) Determine deflection ( Δ y )

   load = 265 N

   elastic modulus = 66 GPa

elastic modulus = tensile stress / tensile strain

Tensile stress = Δ y

 strain = load = 66 GPa

therefore Δ y = 265 * 66 = 17490 GPa

(a) The flexural strength will be "65.139 MPa".

(b) The deflection will be "17490 GPa".

According to the question,

Load at fracture,

  • 283 N

Distance b/t support points,

  • 50 mm

Width,

  • b = 11.6 mm

Height,

  • d = 5.3 mm

(a)

The flexural strength will be:

=  [tex]\frac{MY}{I}[/tex]

or,

= [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times (\frac{(F\times I)}{b\times d^2} )[/tex]

By substituting the values, we get

= [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times (\frac{(283\times 50)}{11.6\times 5.3^2} )[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{1}{2}\times (\frac{14150}{325.844} )[/tex]

= [tex]\frac{3}{2}\times 43.425[/tex]

= [tex]65.139 \ MPa[/tex]

(b)

We know,

Load,

  • 265 N

Elastic modulus,

  • 66 GPa

Now,

→ [tex]Elastic \ modulus = \frac{Stress}{Strain}[/tex]

here, Stress = Δy

Now,

→ [tex]\Delta y = 265\times 66[/tex]

        [tex]= 17490 \ GPa[/tex]

Thus the above answers are correct.
