Vibrated concrete (VC) and self-compacting concrete (SCC) have a substantially different composition, resulting in dissimilar mechanical properties regarding cracking behaviour. The critical value of the mode I stress-intensity factor KICis an appropriate fracture parameter for evaluating fracture toughness and can be obtained from three-point bending tests (3PBT) on small, notched specimens. Subsequent determination of the energy release rate thus allows to examine the crack propagation and fracture process of both concrete types. This paper describes the results of such 3PBTs on samples, made from VC and SCC. Evaluation of the cracking behaviour, derived from these results, reveals remarkable differences.

In recent years, advances in material testing equipment caused the determination of mechanical properties by means of three-point bending tests to lose ground in detriment to more accurate tensile tests. However, if components undergo bending deformation in service, the identification of the materials flexural behaviour is essential. The investigated material is a thermoplastic polymer, test specimens being cut in prismatic shapes from injected sheets, which present a variation in properties due to cooling conditions. This paper presents results of three-point bending tests with emphasis on the influence of strain rate and anisotropy on flexural strength and chord modulus. Results show an increase in flexural properties with strain rate and a considerable influence of anisotropy on mechanical properties.

An improved means of obtaining the elastic constants of component-lead-board assemblages from two three-point bending tests and one four-point torsion test is proposed. The suggested method models the three-point bending test as an orthotropic plate and uses the experimentally obtained bending and torsion results in a standard nonlinear least square procedure to determine the rigidities in the x and y directions and the Poisson’s ratios directly. Numerical simulation of the method indicates that the beam model overestimates the elastic modulii by 4 to 7 percent and the corresponding rigidities by 7 to 13 percent.

The study introduces a method for the computational and experimental determination of the parameters of the Cowper — Symonds material model for steel beam structures under shock loads, the method being based on the finite element method. A full-scale experiment was carried out on a developed and manufactured installation that implements dynamic shock loading of metal beams according to the three-point bending scheme. The results of the practical approbation of the proposed method are presented on the example of determining the parameters of the Cowper — Symonds model for beams of steel 20. The difference between the calculated and experimental values of the residual deflection of the beam did not exceed 5%. Computer simulation of the experiment was carried out in the ANSYS LS-DYNA software package. The above methodological approaches are proposed to be used in the calculated assessment of the strength of the power structure of passenger vehicles for compliance with the requirements of UN Regulation No. 66.
