Chapter 6, Problem 6.45P

Interpretation Introduction

Interpretation:

The minimum possible thickness of a square specimen of MgO should be calculated without fracture.

Concept introduction:

The ability of any specimen to undergo deformation under the influence of load is known as a Flexural strength.

We can determine the flexural strength with the help of below-mentioned formula:

${\sigma }_{Bend}=\frac{3\text{FL}}{2{\text{wh}}^2}$

In the above-mentioned formula,

• F = the fracture
• L= the distance between the two points
• w = width of the specimen
• h = height of the specimen
