Answer:
strains for the respective cases are
0.287
0.318
0.127
and for the entire process 0.733
Explanation:
The formula for the true strain is given as:

Where
True strain
l= length of the member after deformation
original length of the member
<u>Now for the first case we have</u>
l= 1.6m

thus,


<u>similarly for the second case we have</u>
l= 2.2m
(as the length is changing from 1.6m in this case)
thus,


<u>Now for the third case</u>
l= 2.5m

thus,


<u>Now the true strain for the entire process</u>
l=2.5m

thus,

Answer:
a)-True
Explanation:
Three point bending is better than tensile for evaluating the strength of ceramics. It is got a positive benefit to tensile for evaluating the strength of ceramics.
