Diametrical Compression test is one of indirect tests to investigate the tensile strength of brittle materials. This test is spread because of easiness to perform. However, results from this test are not stable. Traditionally, calculations for this test are performed under a pair of opposite concentrated loading on the diameter of specimen. However, contact areas appear just before fracture of specimen in the fact and the stress distribution from loading platens is not obvious. It seems be one of reasons why the result from this test is not stable. In this study, the attempt to establish the modeling for distribution on loading platens in the diametrical compression test is shown. The aim of this modeling is to calculate stresses and displacement of specimen using complex stress function by Lekhnitskii. Therefore, this model is expanded in Fourier expansion. Accuracy of calculation using Fourier expansion depends on the number of terms. Therefore, the influence of contact area and number of terms to accuracy is also discussed.

Diametrical Compression test is one of indirect tests to investigate the tensile strength of brittle materials. This test is spread because of easiness to perform. However, results from this test are not stable. Traditionally, calculations for diametrical compression test are performed under a pair of opposite concentrated load on the diameter of specimen. In the fact, contact areas are appears just before fracture of specimen and the stress distribution from loading platens is not obvious. It seems one of reasons why the result from this test is not stable. Several stress distributions between contact area and specimen have been proposed and stresses and strains have been calculated as theoretical results or analytical result in previous studies. In this study, the stress distribution that consists of uniform loading and cosine curve shaped loading is proposed and used for theoretical solution. Furthermore, results from this study are compared with results from previous studies.

An attempt is made to obtain photoelastically the stress distribution in the near vicinity of singular points, when a punch is indenting an elastic half-plane. The punch is to be assumed flat and rough so that friction is developed between the contact surfaces. By expanding the complex stress function into a Taylor series, an extrapolation law is obtained, which allows the calculation of stresses at the vicinity of the singular points by means of photoelastic measurements at positions remote from these points. The error limits of this technique are defined and, finally, a relation between the order of singularity and the parameters of the photoelastic pattern is established.

Laminated veneer lumber is taken as an object of study, and use LVL specimens of different sizes for compression test and tensile test. The goal of the experiment is to investigate the size effect on compressive strength and tensile strength as well as the influence of the secondary glued laminated face, which appears in the secondary molding processes. The results show that both compressive strength and tensile strength have the size effect apparently and the existence of the secondary glued laminated face lower the compressive strength of LVL specimens. Afterwards, the relationship between compressive strength and volume along with tensile strength and area are obtained by the test results.

The adhesion of solid wax ink droplets to porous polyethylene and Teflon substrates was studied experimentally. Wax droplets with a diameter of 3 mm and an initial temperature of 110°C were dropped onto test surfaces from heights varying from 20–50 mm. The Teflon surfaces had holes drilled in them to create idealized porous surfaces while the porous polyethylene sheets had mean pore sizes of either 35 or 70 μm. The force required to remove the wax splats from the substrates was measured by a pull test. The detachment force increased with droplet impact velocity. A simple analytical model is proposed to predict the force attaching the wax splat to the surface: it has an adhesive component, calculated by multiplying the contact area between the splat and substrate by the strength of adhesion; and a cohesive component, calculated by multiplying the area of the pores into which wax penetrates by the ultimate tensile strength of wax. Predictions from the model agreed reasonably well with measurements.

Abstract This paper presents a method of analyzing the stress distribution in a deep beam of finite length by superimposing two stress functions. The first stress function is chosen in the form of a trigonometric series which satisfies all but one of the boundary conditions—that of zero normal stress on the ends of the beam. The principle of least work is then used to obtain a second stress function giving the distribution of normal stress on the ends which is left by the first stress function. By superimposing the two solutions, all the boundary conditions are satisfied. Two particular cases of a given type of loading are solved in this way to investigate the stresses in a deep beam and their deviation from the ordinary beam theory. In addition, an approximate solution by the numerical method of finite difference is worked out for one of the two cases. Results from the two methods are compared and discussed. A method of obtaining an exact solution to the problem is given in an Appendix.

Abstract This paper contains a solution for the stress distribution in a thick cylinder having a square hole with rounded corners under the condition of concentrated loading. The problem is investigated by the complex-variable method, associated with the name of N. I. Muskhelishvili. The unknown coefficients included in the solution are determined by the method of perturbation. Numerical examples of the solution are worked out and compared with the results available.

The contact of a hard sphere with a flat elastomer is examined both analytically and experimentally when adhesive stresses are present. Use of a transparent spherical indenter enables continuous measurement of contact size while the samples are pulled apart. For any combination of load and contact area, the superposition of a Hertz and a Boussinesq stress distribution separates the contact into a circular zone under compression and an outer annulus under tension. During separation, while the contact size decreases and the tensile annulus becomes a larger percentage of the total contact, the average tensile stress remains constant. This average adhesive is a material property which is easily measured and is shown to be invariant with respect to indenter radius and initial contact pressure. An application of this analysis to opaque indenters is described.

Metallic gasket seals are widely used in pressure vessels and piping. The failure of sealing systems is mostly caused not by the strength of flanges or bolts but by the leakage of the connections. The contact area of sealing surface has a major influence on the leakage of the bolted flange connections. The contact model of sealing surfaces of the flange and the metallic gasket was established on the basis of the modified M-B model, and the relationship between the contact area and the compressive stress is obtained. It’s found that the bigger the compressive stress, the bigger the contact area. When the compressive stresses are identical, the bigger fractal dimension and the less scale coefficient, the bigger the contact area. These can be used in the evaluation of sealing behavior of metallic gaskets.
