Chapter 6, Problem 6.44P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The importantofbend test on Brittle materials needs to be explained.

Concept introduction:

Bend test is a type of qualitative test which is used to check the ductility, stiffness and yield property of the material. In some cases, bend test is also used to determine the tensile strength of material. Bend test is usually performed on brittle materials such as concrete, wood, ceramics etc.
