Welding defects affect the performance of welded pipe joints. In this study, a three point bend test of welded steel and medium density polyethylene (MDPE) pipe joints with defects of various defect locations and defect materials was studied using the finite element method. The defect was assumed to be located at 12 o'clock, 3 o'clock or 6 o'clock direction. The results showed that pipes failed more easily on the compression side due to stress or local buckling. The air defect was more dangerous than the steel defect if the defect was located in the compression side; otherwise, the defect material effect on the integrity of pipes was ignorable. It is argued that the integrity of pipes with defects in the compression side is weaker than that in other regions, and the defect should be located in the compression side or the 12 o'clock position in the three point bend test to maximize the effect of defect existence on the pipe structural integrity.

RILEM에서는 콘크리트의 파괴에너지를 결정하기 위하여 3점휨시험 방법을 제시하였으나, 콘크리트의 자중의 영향으로 인하여 이론치와 실험치가 잘 일치하지 않는 경향이 있다. 본 연구에서는 콘크리트의 자중의 영향을 고려하기 위하여 완전탄성체지지대로서 proving ring을 이용한 4점휨시험을 제시하였으며, 인조균열길이의 변화에 따른 콘크리트의 파괴에너지 변화를 알아보기 위하여 보의 높이에 대한 인조균열길이의 비를 0.2부터 0.6까지 변화시켜 실험을 실시하였다. 본 연구에서 제안된 4점휨 시험을 통하여 콘크리트의 파괴거동을 보다 쉽게 파악할 수 있었으며, 4점휨시험이 3점휨시험 보다 파괴역학이론에 잘 들어맞는 것을 알 수 있었다.

A method to determine the fracture energy of concrete is investigated. The fracture energy may be calculated from the area under the complete load-deflection curve which can be obtained from a stable three-point bend test. Several series of concrete beams have been tested. The Present experimental study indicates that the fracture energy decreases as the initial notch-to-beam depth ratio increases Some problems to be observed to employ the three-point bend method are discussed. The appropriate ratio of initial notch-to-beam depth to determine the fracture energy of concrete is found to be 0.5. It is also found that the influence of the self-weight of a beam to the fracture energy is very small A simple and accurate formula to predict the fracture energy of concrete is proposed.

The force transducer in the acceleration plant due to dynamic fracture is calibrated by dynamically using the stress pulses from a longitudinal bar. The bar is supported by two strings attached to the ceiling. The bar velocities before and after impact are measured and a full bridge at bar and transducer is formed by the four strain gauges. A transient recorder is used to store the stress pulse signals of force transducer and bar. For the first test series, three point bend test specimens can be chosen by means of test rig design and the inspection as sample experiment in this presented paper is sufficient for proving with the numerical simulation of the specimen model.

The deformation behavior under three-point bend test was found to depend on the loading uniformity and the macrostructure for SiC reticulated porous ceramics (RPCs). However, this dependence of loading uniformity is alleviated by improved macrostructure with fewer flaws and clogged pores. Even, this dependence becomes less important as the struts become thicker and stronger. The bend result of RPCs with highly uniform macrostructure is in excellent agreement with the GA (Gibson and Ashby) model, but the one with un-uniform macrostructure deviates from the GA model, suggesting that the macrostructure plays an important role in deformation behavior of RPCs under bend.

Machine material and structural strain are critical factors for appraising mechanical properties and safety. Particularly in three and four-point bending tests, which appraise the deflection and flexural strain of an object due to external force, measurements are made by the crosshead movement or deflection meter of a universal testing machine. The Digital Image Correlation (DIC) method is one of the non-contact measurement methods. It uses the image analyzing method that compares the reference image with the deformed image for measuring the displacement and strain of the objects caused by external force. Accordingly, the advantage of this method is that the object's surface roughness, shape, and temperature have little influence. However, its disadvantage is that it requires extensive time to compare the reference image with the deformed image for measuring the displacement and strain. In this study, an algorithm is developed for DIC that can improve the speed of image analysis for measuring the deflection and strain of an object caused by a three-point bending load. To implement this algorithm for improving the speed of image analysis, LabVIEW 2010 was used. Furthermore, to evaluate the accuracy of the developed fast correlation algorithm, the deflection of an aluminum specimen under a three-point bending load was measured by using the universal test machine and DIC measurement system.

This paper presents a comparative study on the double-K fracture parameters of concrete obtained using four existing analytical methods such as Gauss-Chebyshev integral method, simplified Green's function method, weight function method and simplified equivalent cohesive force method. Two specimen geometries: three point bend test and compact tension specimen for sizes 100-500 mm at initial notch length to depth ratios 0.25 and 0.4 are used for the comparative study. The required input parameters for determining the double-K fracture parameters are derived from the developed fictitious crack model. It is found that the cohesive toughness and initial cracking toughness determined using weight function method and simplified equivalent cohesive force method agree well with those obtained using Gauss-Chebyshev integral method whereas these fracture parameters determined using simplified Green's function method deviates more than by 11% and 20% respectively as compared with those obtained using Gauss-Chebyshev integral method. It is also shown that all the fracture parameters related with double-K model are size dependent.

This paper investigates the performances of GFRP bar and its possibility for using a substitute of steel bar. GFRO bar was made with introducing the glass fiber into GTR added UPE. We carried out the tensile test of GFRP and steel bar and out the three point bend test bond-test and fracture energy measurement on the GFRP bar and steel bar reinforced concrete. The GFRP bar was excellent as comparison with steel bar in the contribution to the energy absorption and the ductility of concrete. But its tensile, bond and bend strengthes were comparatively small. In order to improve these defects, we judged that glass fibers in GFRP bar must be completely adhesive one another by the impregnating glass fibers into UPE.

The characteristics of aging of near-equiatomic Ni-Ti alloy has been studied by the three point bend test and the measurement of Differential Scanning Calorimetry(DSC). The DSC is used to measure precise transformation temperatures and the amount of thermal energy required for the corresponding phase transformation. The effort of hardness on aging treatment in saline solution of $37^{\circ}C$ was higher for the annealed than solution treated specimens. As the testing temperature inc- rease from under $M_f$ to above $A_f$ temperature, the elastic stiffness increased. Almost full recovery can be achieved after bending below Belo outer fiber strain. Total bend recovery decreased gradually as aging time and bend angle is increased.
