I'll get that info for you in a bit. Are you saying that the ultimate stress in bending should be the same as the ultimate stress in tensile for an "all things being equal" sample?
I guess a more clear question would be, why is the ultimate stress in a bending test higher than the ultimate...
Thanks for the response rconner. That is essentially what I am comparing, 3 point bend tests with tensile testing (or tensile, with torsion, shear...). I am not debating the results of the experiments. I'm assuming the values I recorded were correct. I ran an experimental FEA and that...
My work in a metallurgy department is having me look into ultimate stresses of different alloys under different testing methods.
I have cylindrical 1018 steel samples. Why is it that when performing a tensile test on it, the ultimate stress is lower than the ultimate stress when testing the...
