And crack depth

Fig. 9 Changes in the crack initiation times and crack depths in an epoxy resin as a function of the amplitude of the imposed cyclic displacement, a Number of cycles to the initiation of the primary cracks at the edge of the contact zone, b Measured depths of the primary cracks at various number of cycles and displacement amplitudes. Circles 103 cycles, solid diamonds 5 x 103 cycles, squares 5 x 104 cycles, c Calculated values of the maximum tensile stress at the edge of the contact using Hamilton (gross slip condition) or Mindlin—Cattaneo (partial slip condition) theories. The two curves correspond to calculations using the initial (/x = 1.0) and the steady-state (/x = 1.5) values of the coefficient of friction. PSR Partial slip regime, MR mixed regime, GSR gross slip regime...

After ozonization, the relative protective capacty of the antiozonants was evaluated by comparing surface replicas (1) and crack depth measurements (6) of the ozonized vulcanizates. 

One general comment is that defects are not as strong a controlling feature of breakage in these extensible textile fibres as in many other materials. Rupture forces cannot be calculated from modulus and crack depth as in Griffiths brittle fracture, or even from the later theories of fracture mechanics. As described below, Moseley (1963) showed that severe damage could be imposed on nylon and polyester fibres with no effect on strength at room temperature.

This method involves critical load evaluation and crack depth measurement, and has been used in recent years to define fracture parameters in several ceramics, for example, UO2, SiC, and TiC. ° ... 

Teysseyre et al. [125] reported that the density of cracks and crack depth for austenitic stainless steels preirradiated up to 7 dpa increased over the unirradiated case in SCW at 400°C. Under the same irradiation and test conditions, ferritic-martensitic alloys were found to be resistant to cracking. 

Three types of crack surfaces (figure 2) are adopted to study the influence of the crack surface shape on the stress intensity factors. For the purpose of the calculation comparison, assume that these cracks have the same crack angle (a = 50°, crack length (one forth of the ring crack circle) and crack depth (/ = 0.05mm). The crack location for the... 

In Lakestani (10) modelling work performed within the PISC III project is validated against experiments. Figure 1 shows the pulse echo response from the lower edge of a 10 mm vertical strip-like crack at centre depth 55 mm. The probe has the size 20 mm by 22 ram, is of SV type with angle 45 and has centre frequency 2.2 MHz and an assumed bandwidth of 2 MHz. The calibration is perfomed by a side-drilled hole of diameter 9.5 mm and centre depth 60 mm (the... 

In this paper we present simulations and measurements of several types of excitation coils, which match the special requirements for a SQUID based eddy current NDE system. We note however that all calculations presented here on penetration depths, current distributions and crack-detecting algorithms are also useful for conventional eddy current testing systems. 

Measuring surface crack depth is performed by calibration samples made of the same material like the object being tested. Calibration samples are the plates having narrow grooves like slits of various depth 0.2 mm, 0.5 mm, 1.0 mm, 2.0 mm, 3.0 mm, 4.0 mm, 5.0 mm and made by electric erosion method. The samples have dimensions 50 mm X 150 mm x 6 mm and 25 mmx 150 mm x 6 mm and are made of magnetic...

The algorithm of calculating crack depth is realized in electropotential device Zond IGT-97 for measuring cracks depth. Its structure diagram is shown in Fig. 8 Using quasi-direct current is the device particular feature that made it possible to reduce its dimensions and weight. 

The algorithm leads to computation of the width 2a, and the depths d, dj, dj, d, d , d at six equidistant points along the y -axis of the cross-section of a crack, as well as the surface density of charge m=4 ju c at the crack walls. In its formulation from Fig.3, the algoritlun is adapted to cracks with a constant width. 

Prompted by the success, TOFD measurements were conducted on a fatigue crack in a stainless steel compact tension specimen. Test and system parameters were optimised following the same procedure used for carbon steel specimens. A clear diffracted signal was observed with relatively good SNR and its depth as measured from the time-of-flight measurements matched exactly with the actual depth. 

Natural rubber is composed of polymerized isoprene units. When rubber is under tension, ozone attacks the carbon-carbon double bond, breaking the bond. The broken bond leaves adjacent C = C bonds under additional stress, eventually breaking and placing shll more stress on surrounding C = C bonds. This "domino" effect can be discerned from the structural formulas in Fig. 9-4. The number of cracks and the depth of the cracks in rubber under tension are related to ambient concentrations of ozone. 

The decrease in with crack depth for fracture of IG-11 graphite presents an interesting dilemma. The utihty of fracture mechanics is that equivalent values of K should represent an equivalent crack tip mechanical state and a singular critical value of K should define the failure criterion. Recall Eq. 2 where K is defined as the first term of the series solution for the crack tip stress field, Oy, normal to the crack plane. It was noted that this solution must be modified at the crack tip and at the far field. The maximum value of a. should be limited to and that the far...

Figure 34 shows the critical load of all the samples. For the monolayer samples, Sample 1 has a higher critical load than Sample 2. The multilayers Samples 4, 5, and 6 have higher critical loads than monolayer Samples 1 and 2. Samples 5 and 6 have excellent scratch resistant properties. Only extremely small cracks are found in the scratch tracks of Samples 5 and 6. Therefore, there is no sudden change found in the force and penetration depth curves. Sample 7 has the lowest critical load, similar to the monolayer Sample 2.
