3、modulus of rupture in bending) at ambient conditionsof advanced ceramic structures with 2-dimensional honeycombchannel architectures.1.2 The test method is focused on engineered ceramiccomponents with longitudinal hollow channels, commonlycalled “honeycomb” channels. (See Fig. 1.) The componentsgene
4、rally have 30 % or more porosity and the cross-sectionaldimensions of the honeycomb channels are on the order of 1millimeter or greater.

44、ing the simplifying as-sumption of a solid continuum in the bar. The nominal beamstrength is not necessarily representative of the true failurestress in the outer fiber face, because it does not take the effectof channel porosity on the moment of inertia into account. (SeeSection 11 and Appendix X1.
45、)3.1.16.1 DiscussionThe nominal beam strength is calcu-lated without consideration of the dimensions, geometry/shape,cell wall thickness, or linear cell count of the cellular channelarchitecture in the test specimen.

The relative densityaccounts for both channel porosity and wall porosity.3.1.18 semi-articulating fixture, na flexure fixture de-si
49、gned to be used with flat and parallel specimens. The fixtureallows some articulation, or pivoting, to ensure the top pair (orbottom pair) of bearing cylinders pivot together about an axisparallel to the specimen long axis, in order to match thespecimen surfaces. In addition, the upper or lower pairs are freeto pivot to distribute force evenly to the bearing cylinders oneither side. (See Annex A1 for schematics.)
