The compliance constants ~11 and sb4 were determined by resonant bar and compound torsional-oscillator techniques, The stiffness constants cl 1, cia, css, and c44 were determined by an ultrasonic pulse method. All five compliance constants and their associated stressstra

โฆ Synopsis
An investigation of the effect of specimen geometry on the tensile strengths of two nuclear graphites using seven different tensile specimen shapes has been conducted. The design of some samples gave rise to stress concentrations where the fillet met the gage section. Evidence has been obtained that geometry effects can reduce the apparent tensile strength of graphite by as much as 34%. The most satisfactory designs, determined by reference to the strength, were the streamline fillet and the straight, cylindrical sample. A simple method of fastening the straight, cylindrical samples to a steel grip using an epoxy resin has been tested and proven satisfactory.
