Analytical and numerical study of the stress field in a circular semi- ring under combined diametral compression and bending by Stavros K. Kourkoulis, Ermioni D. Pasiou, Christos F. Markides

“…The idea behind the study is to assess the potentialities of the circular semi-ring as a possible substitute of the familiar Brazilian disc, in the direction of curing drawbacks of the latter. It was concluded that a circular semi-ring subjected to eccentric diametral compression provides reliable data for the tensile strength of very brittle materials, relieved from ambiguities characterizing the standardized Brazilian-disc test…”
