Question
A three-point transverse bending test was performed on a glass specimen having a square
cross-section of 18.5 mm length on each edge. The specimen fractured at a load of 4530
N when the distance between support points was 42 mm.
A second test is to be performed on another specimen of this same glass material, but one
that has a circular cross-section. What minimum specimen diameter is required to ensure
that fracture will not occur when a load of 3480 N is applied? Assume that the support
separation is maintained at 42 mm.
