    Theory:

    ASTM C1341 covers a flexural test for specific types of ceramic composites. The sampe is bent to about 5% strain and the load is taken. There are three versions of this test. The first is a 3 poinit bend test using center loading. The other two tests use a 4 point bend fixture and use a top span of either 1/2 or 1/3 Lo. 

     

    Geometry:

    Rectangular plates are cut according to the measurements. Length, thickness, and width must all be measured and recorded for each sample.

     

    Solution:

    Universal Grip recommends using a bend fixture with articulating supports. Ceramic Composites can be brittle and therefore supports with a slight amount of pivot should be used. 

     

    Analysis:

    There are several measurement and calculations which can be taken including:

     

    - Modulus of Elasticity (MOE) 

    - Modulus of Rupture (MOR)  also known as flexural strength
