Depends on the fiberglass and how it's been made up- I build model boats with fiberglass hulls that can be flexed about to a certain extent, but too far and it'll just snap Hope this helps -Dan

why the tensile properties of most brittle materials are accessed by transverse bending tests and not ascertain by tensile tests
It should last for years as long as you don't walk on it and smash it down .I have it in my house and it is 20 yrs old ( fiberglass type )
No. To strain harden at room temperature requires cold working beyond the material yield point, and ceramics have no yield, being brittle.
Per ASTM C78, the flexural strength of concrete (or the Modulus of Rupture) can be derived from the following equation:fc' = R2 / 100where:fc' = compressive strength (psi)R= Modulus of Rupture (psi)
is polythene ductile or brittle?
it is ductile. For hardened stainless steel it gets less ductile, but not brittle.
Brittle
Silicon has a Brittle-to-Ductile transition at around ~500 C.
Ductile and brittle are NOT the same thing. In fact, almost the opposite.
Doubtful. Ductile by definition means "not brittle, easily stretched, malleable".
Sulfur is brittle.
A fluoride salt is brittle.
brittle
more brittle
is factor of safety of brittle material half of ductile material
Faults are formed by brittle deformations and folds are formed by ductile deformation.
