Textbook Question
Chapter 8, Problem 54SDP
It has been noted that the strength of brittle materials (such as ceramics and glasses) is very sensitive to surface defects, such as scratches (known as notch sensitivity). Obtain several pieces of these materials, scratch them, and test them by carefully clamping them in a vise and bending them. Comment on your observations.

Explain how stress concentration can be reduced when a notch is unavoidable in a mechanical component with neat sketches?
Explain why the strengths of brittle materials are much lower than predicted by theoretical calculations.
An unknown specimen with an initial diameter of 5.25 mm experiences a reduction in diameter to 4.50 mm under a tensile load of 250 N. Calculate the engineering stress, engineering strain, true stress, and true strain at this load. Assume that the deformation is uniform throughout the entire sample, and that the volume of the sample remains constant when being pulled in tension.
