The paper presents the laboratory test results of the mechanical properties of porous gypsum. Material for the study was obtained from gypsum Pro-Monta plate of 100mm thick. Based on the compression test of cubic samples, following mechanical properties were determined: compressive strength, Poisson's ratio and Young's modulus. Tensile strength was determined based on three-point bending test of rectangular cross section sample. Also a friction coefficients were investigated as follows: between the smoothed surface of the sample and a fiberboard pad, between a rough surfaces (after cutting) and fiberboard pad. A porosity of the material samples was determined using standard method. The material’s mechanical property values can be useful for modeling destruction and deformation of a porous gypsum undertaken by analytical and numerical methods.

The physical and mechanical properties of three new bandage-form splinting materials (Baycast, Crystona and Hexcelite) have been compared with those of plaster of Paris. Properties evaluated including working strength, rate of strength development, elastic modulus, exothermic heat and X-ray absorption coefficient. All mechanical testing was carried out on rectangular cross-section specimens in three-point bending. Whilst the three newer materials differed widely they all showed some advantages over plaster of Paris although none could be definitely stated as being superior in all respects. As regards mechanical properties, Baycast was found to be significantly stronger than the other materials and to have a higher strength to weight ratio. The difficulties in formulating laboratory tests which are clinically relevant are discussed and the need to consider other factors, such as ease of application and advantages to the patient, is emphasized.

Chromium powder reinforced geopolymer composite (Cr/geopolymer) was prepared in order to enhance its thermal conductivity and mechanical properties. The phase composition, microstructure and mechanical properties of Cr/geopolymer before and after heat treatment at 900, 1000, 1100 and 1200°C were investigated by the X–ray diffraction (XRD), scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and three–point bending test. With increasing heat treatment temperature from 900 to 1100°C, mechanical property of Cr/geopolymer increased gradually and at 1100°C flexural strength got the peak value, which was 325% higher than that of specimens without heat treatment. Cr/geopolymer treated at 900°C did not completely transform into crystalline phase, and many micro cracks around the chromium particles were observed. Cr/geopolymer treated at 1000–1100°C completely crystallized into leucite phase, and the metal chromium remained its original state. Meanwhile, most of the micro cracks were closed. When the temperature further increased to 1200°C, many visible defects were observed in Cr/geopolymer, and chromium oxide appeared in the interface of Cr/geopolymer, which had detrimental effect on the heat conduction and mechanical property of the composite.

Heating wood to high temperature changes either temporarily or permanently its physical properties. This issue is addressed in the present contribution by examining the effect of high temperature on residual mechanical properties of spruce wood, grounding on the results of full-scale fire tests performed on GLT beams. Given these tests, a computational model was developed to provide through-thickness temperature profiles allowing for the estimation of a charring depth on the one hand and on the other hand assigning a particular temperature to each specimen used subsequently in small-scale tensile tests. The measured Young’s moduli and tensile strengths were accompanied by the results from three-point bending test carried out on two groups of beams exposed to fire of a variable duration and differing in the width of the cross-section, b=100 mm (Group 1) and b=160 mm (Group 2). As expected, increasing the fire duration and reducing the initial beam cross-section reduces the residual bending strength. A negative impact of high temperature on residual strength has also been observed from simple tensile tests, although limited to a very narrow layer adjacent to the charring front not even exceeding a typically adopted value of the zero-strength layer d0=7 mm. On the contrary, the impact on stiffness is relatively mild supporting the thermal recovery property of wood.

Different carbon and glass fibre strips were subjected to the double clamp buckle beam test. Furthermore, thin-walled glass fibre box-beams were subjected to the three-point bending test. Results of experiments were compared to different numerical simulations using buckling analysis or static analysis considering large deformations.

This research paper deals with an investigation of the influence of honeycomb core compression on the mechanical properties of sandwich structures. These structures consist of prepreg facing layers and two different material types of honeycomb and are produced by modified compression molding called Crush-Core technology. Produced structures are mechanically tested in three-point bending test and subjected to low-velocity impact and Charpy impact test.

Current research focuses on magnesium based alloys in the course of searching a resorbable osteosynthetic material which provides sufficient mechanical properties besides a good biocompatibility. Previous studies reported on a favorable biocompatibility of the alloys LAE442 and MgCa0.8. The present study compared the degradation process of cylindrical LAE442 and MgCa0.8 implants after 12 months implantation duration. Therefore, 10 extruded implants (2.5 x 25 mm, cross sectional area 4.9 mm²) of both alloys were implanted into the medullary cavity of both tibiae of rabbits for 12 months. After euthanization, the right bone-implant-compound was scanned in a µ-computed tomograph (µCT80, ScancoMedical) and nine uniformly distributed cross-sections of each implant were used to determine the residual implants´ cross sectional area (Software AxioVisionRelease 4.5, Zeiss). Left implants were taken out of the bone carefully. After weighing, a three-point bending test was carried out. LAE442 implants degraded obviously slower and more homogeneously than MgCa0.8. The mean residual cross sectional area of LAE442 implants was 4.7 ± 0.07 mm². MgCa0.8 showed an area of only 2.18 ± 1.03 mm². In contrast, the loss in volume of LAE442 pins was more obvious. They lost 64 % of their initial weight. The volume of MgCa0.8 reduced clearly to 54.4 % which corresponds to the cross sectional area results. Three point bending tests revealed that LAE442 showed a loss in strength of 71.2 % while MgCa0.8 lost 85.6 % of its initial strength. All results indicated that LAE442 implants degraded slowly, probably due to the formation of a very obvious degradation layer. Degradation of MgCa0.8 implants was far advanced.

The influences of low temperature on the interlaminar properties for PBO fiber/epoxy composites have been studied at liquid nitrogen temperature (77 K) in terms of three point bending test. Results showed that the interlaminar shear strength at 77 K were significantly higher than those at room temperature (RT). For the analysis of the test results, the tensile behaviors of epoxy resin at both room temperature and liquid nitrogen temperature were investigated. The interface between fiber and matrix was observed using SEM images.

The microstructure and the mechanical property of liquid phase sintered (LPS) SiC materials with oxide secondary phases have been investigated. The strength variation of LPS-SiC materials exposed at the elevated temperatures has been also examined. LPS-SiC materials were sintered at the different temperatures using two types of Al2O3/Y2O3 compositional ratio. The characterization of LPS-SiC materials was investigated by means of SEM with EDS, three point bending test and indentation test. The LPS-SiC material with a density of about 3.2 Mg/m3 represented a flexural strength of about 800 MPa and a fracture toughness of about 9.0 MPa⋅√m.

By means of a tensile instrument and SEM, the mechanical property parameters of HTPB propellant test samples with different formulas were tested, and their microscopic fracture cross section patterns were observed. Take advantage of these testing results, the relationship between microscopic structure and mechanical properties of HTPB propellant was studied. The results show that the mechanical properties of a propellant are closely related to its microscpic structure state. The structural integrity of propellant is mainly influenced by the bond effect of the interface between binder and solid particles, solid particle’s shape, size and its distribution, the content of binder matrix, etc. These factors have important effects on the mechanical properties of propellant.
