Study on Experimental Determination of the Elasticity Modulus of Casted Basalt
Abstract
Basalt is a material available in big quantities in nature. It has a low price and can be used in various domains. It can be relatively easily extracted from natural deposits and processed by means of melting. Melted and recrystallized basalt has demonstrated promising behavior with regards of its use in manufacturing, as reported in the literature.
This paper presents the results of an experimental study on the determination of the modulus of elasticity of molten and recrystallized basalt by the method of resistive electrical tensometry and to validate the result and by simulation using finite elements method. Testing methodology, experimental test, data records, data processing and resulting conclusions are presented in the paper.
