Abstract
In order to develop a new test method of the elastic modulus and Poissons ratio, based on the theoretical analysis of the Brazilian disk diametrically loaded by a pair of forces, the relationship is obtained between the total displacement of one point on the vertical direction of the load line and the applied force as well as the elastic modulus and Poissons ratio. The strain gauges with different length are used to measure the displacement of the corresponding point, and then the displacement is employed to calculate the elastic modulus and Poisson's ratio by using the theoretical formula. The proposed method can provide a new approach to estimate the elastic modulus and Poissons ratio by using Brazilian disk splitting tests.
