As a final step, recognizing that the integral over y is the definition of the beam's area moment<br />
of inertia ‘I’,<br />
Allows us to arrive at the Euler-Bernoulli beam equation,<br />
Bearing Area: It is the product of the ‘pin diameter’ and the ‘specimen thickness’.<br />
Bearing Load: It is the compressive load which acting on an interface.<br />
Bearing Strength: It is the maximum bearing stress which not causes failure of the composite<br />
(when applied through a cylindrical fastener surface).<br />
Bearing Strain: It is the ratio of the deformation of the bearing hole (in the direction of the<br />
applied force) to the pin diameter.<br />
Bearing Stress: Applied load divided by bearing area (hole diameter times thickness).<br />
Bearing Yield Strength: It is the bearing stress at which a material exhibits a specified limiting<br />
deviation from the proportionality of bearing stress to bearing strain.<br />
Bend Test: A test of ductility by bending or folding, usually with steadily applied forces. In<br />
some instances the test may involve blows to a specimen having a cross section that is essentially<br />
uniform over a length several times as great as the largest dimension of the cross section.<br />
Bending Stiffness The sandwich panel stiffness deriving from the facing properties and distance<br />
they are apart.<br />
Benzoyl Peroxide (BPO): The catalyst used in conjunction with aniline accelerator or where<br />
heat is used as an accelerator.<br />
Bias Cut: Fabric cut at an angle (45o) to the warp & fill fibers.<br />
Bias Fabric: A fabric in which warp and fill fibers are at an angle to the length.<br />
Biaxial Load: It is a loading condition in which a laminate is stressed in two different directions<br />
in its plane.
