Summary

The effect of the friction of the crushing plates upon the yield point of short compression specimens has been investigated.

With plates harder than the material under test, the end friction causes an increase in the apparent yield point. This increase is calculated as 18 per cent. for wrought iron and mild steel, 20 per cent. for cast iron, and 50 to 200 per cent. for stones, bricks, and concrete. These figures, except the first, may apply almost equally well to the crushing strength, but they require experimental support. The corresponding inclinations of the surfaces of shearing are 37° for wrought iron and steel, 36° for cast iron, and 27° to 15° for stones, etc. The first value is seldom obtained, but the others agree fairly well with average experimental results.

When the crushing plates are of material softer than that under test, the lateral flow of the former diminishes the apparent strength of the specimen. With stones crushed between lead plates the strength is calculated as 0·35 to 0·15 of that obtained when iron or steel plates are employed. Experiments give 0·65 to 0·43 as the value of this ratio, but the specimens do not rupture by shearing in the manner contemplated.

The total crushing load of a short specimen of cast iron is increased by diminishing the length of the piece, but the crushing stress per unit of area is simultaneously decreased.
