My March column addressed flexural test methods for composite materials. I noted that the details presented in the various available national and international standards were not mutually consistent ...
In my last column, I discussed uniaxial flexural strength testing of fiber-reinforced ceramics, that is, simple three- or four-point bending of a strip of material of rectangular cross section (see ...
