Study Notes
4.1 Diametral Compression Test
- This test is used to determine tensile properties of brittle materials like amalgam, ceramics, plaster, etc.
- A compressive load is applied on the diameter of a short cylindrical specimen.
- The compressive stress creates a tensile stress in the plane perpendicular to the applied force.
- Tensile stress is calculated as: Tensile stress = 2P / ΠDT
- P = load
- D = diameter
- T = thickness
