Defects cracking

The methods that are based on the reflection of compression waves will generally not give information about the concrete which lies deeper than the most shallow large planar defect (crack or void ). 

An estimation of the degree of brittleness is based on the established presence and character of defects (cracks) in the area of an indentation (Fig. 6.3.2), and there are several known methods of interpreting the best results. 

An appreciable increase in medium activity was revealed in tests of fuel elements with simulated defects/cracks generated diuing operation. The activity release rate increased dining the tests evidencing flaw growth. 

A durable protective coating for high-temperature alloys can be achieved by CVD. Normally, we must consider alloy stabilization in addition to chemical reaction in a controlled environment. The results define the nature of coatings for high-temperature corrosion protection, namely, a thin (1-2 pm) diffused silicon layer that covers the surface and penetrates even the smallest defects, cracks, etc., on the alloy to be protected. This surface modification treatment by CVD can be adapted to other alloys and is technologically simple and relatively inexpensive. 

The roughness of Class III coatings is influenced by the unevenness of the original surface. For example, a phosphated surface finished with A-7-N lacquer remains relatively rough since the phosphated surface has projections with heights greater than 30 jum [211]. Defects (cracks, chips, etc.) in Class III and IV coatings also tend to increase particle adhesion.

Each final container should be checked for visible defects (cracks, presence of visible particles, etc.). Products in which particles are detected should be discarded. 

Recent studies on PMMA have shown that craze initiation appears at a relatively early stage in the fatigue life of the material (12). The total fatigue life is compared to the onset of craze initiation in Figure 15. In this particular case the lifetime is governed primarily by the growth of crazes imtil a defect (crack) approaches the threshold size. 

Theoretical tensile strength may be calculated from molecular cohesion in the atomic structure, but the effective strength of materials is, by a few orders, lower. The reasons, according to Griffith s theory, are local defects, cracks and flaws, with high stress concentrations at their tips. It is usually assumed that for ordinary Portland cement matrix the maximum tensile strain varies between 100 and 150.10 and may rarely attain 200.10". ... 

Since A = 0.857 and 6V 0.1, then from the Eq. (14.5) it follows that in this case plastic deformation cannot be compensated volume increase, which is due to formation of defects - cracks on interfacial boundaries. 

X (e.g. the thickness of the sample). Iq represents the intensity at x = 0, while p(E) corresponds to the energy dependent mass attenuation coelficient and p the density of the material. Changes in the density of the material by e.g. defects (cracks, voids) or phase boundaries will therefore lead to changes in the absorption and can image morphology and phase distribution (phases with heavier elements vs. lighter elements).

Bulk analytical methods, including laser beam deflection and X-ray or neutron diffraction techniques, have been used to measure lattice strains and stresses. These methods, however, are limited to measuring lattice volume expansion due to li-ion intercalation on the molecular scale. They cannot detect extended defects, cracks, or microfractures, and thus cannot be directly used for mechanics analysis of particles or porous particle networks. Even with this limitation, diffraction or deflection techniques can stiU provide valuable information on lattice structural... 

The initiation stage is associated with the cycles required to initiate damage and develop a defect (crack) of a size such that the threshold stress intensity is reached. The propagation stage is associated with the number of cycles required to propagate the crack under suhcritical conditions from the threshold size to the critical size (such that failure is imminent). Thus far, all discussions have associated with the total cycles N) and...
