ceae.colorado.edu2.1 Uniaxial Compression Recall the typical stress strain response curve for a specimen of intact rock under uniaxial compression (see Figure 1 in Lecture Notes 5). Pa rt OA represents the closing of existing cracks in the rock and an overall readjustment of the rock testing machine setup whereas part AB represents the elastic rock response.

Figure 4 illustrates the remarkable agreement between the predicted and observed fracture behaviour of slate specimens subjected to uniaxial compression. It will be noted that the highest strength of slate can be as much as four times its lowest strength,
Uniaxial Tension and Compression Testing of Materials
web.mit.eduSep 25, 2013 · uniaxial compression using the Instron Model 4206 (Fig. 2.3). Two measurements of the initial gage dimensions of the specimens were taken and averaged to obtain the dimensions that appear in Table 2.2. The samples were then placed between the compression anvils to commence uniaxial compression testing (Fig. 2.4). Fig. 2.3 Porous Al …
