✦ Synopsis

An evaluation of variations in the flexural strength of graphite determined in four-point bending tests has shown geometrical factors to have substantial influences on the measurement. Among the factors evaluated were the specimen cross-sectional geometry, ratio of load/support span to specimen thickness, and the use of rigid and nonrigid test fixtures.

## Abstract Syntactic foam slabs having uncoated microballoons and paraffin oil surface‐treated microballoons were fabricated and tested for short‐beam three‐point bend test. The work points to the role of paraffin oil coating first weakening the interface between the microballoons and the matrix a
