Flexural Modulus Of Ceramics

Flexural testing is the most common method used to measure the uniaxial tensile strength of ceramics and glasses.

Flexural modulus of ceramics.

The picture to the left shows a bar of technox 2000 300 x 12 x 4mm being tested and which is deflecting 4 5mm at its centre. Enamic the polymer infiltrated ceramic network material had a significantly higher flexural modulus than the dispersed fillers materials. Flexural strength in ceramic materials is usually measured by breaking test bars or rods in 3 or 4 point bending on a universal testing machine. The transverse bending test is most frequently employed in which a specimen having either a circular or rectangular cross section is bent until fracture or yielding using a three point.

Flexural strength also known as modulus of rupture or bend strength or transverse rupture strength is a material property defined as the stress in a material just before it yields in a flexure test.
