Modulus of Rupture:
R=Mc/I
R=Modulus of Rupture
M=Bending Moment, PL/4 = 3381.27 N.mm
P=Maximum Load, N = 90.1672 N
L=Span Length, mm = 150 mm
c=Distance from neutral axis to the edge of the sample = 0.5 h = 5mm
I=Moment of Inertia = bh³/12 = (833.33 mm^4)
b=Average Width, mm = 10 mm
h=Average Depth, mm = 10 mm
Modulus of Rupture = (3381.27 X 5)/ (833.33) = 20.28 N/mm²
Failure Condition:
