σ f = Mc/I = 3M/2tc²

I = 2tc³/3

where M is the bending moment


c is half of the specimen width
t is the thickness of the specimen
I is the moment of inertia of the cross-sectional area
M = PL/4

We then have

σ (fb) = 3LP(f)/8tc² = 3LP/2tw²

where σ(fb) is the calculated fracture stress


P(f) is the fracture load obtained from the bending test
w is the width of the specimen of length = 2c
σ o = 3LP(y)/2tw²
ε = c/R

where,

R² = (R-δ)² + (L/2)²
R² = R² - 2 δR + δ²+(L²/4)
2 δR = δ²+(L²/4)
R = δ/2 + L²/8 δ

ε is the strain
R is radius of curving
L is beam length
δ is the deflection
