Combined stress

It is not known to what extent each of the previous mechanisms contributes to turbine blade degradation during service. It is also probable that each alloy will respond differently to a particular temperature/stress combination. Figure 21-12 shows the typical variation in stress/rupture life determined at 1350°F (375 °C) with service time for forged Inconel X-750 blades. 

The Mohr-Coulomb failure criterion can be recognized as an upper bound for the stress combination on any plane in the material. Consider points A, B, and C in Fig. 8.4. Point A represents a state of stresses on a plane along which failure will not occur. On the other hand, failure will occur along a plane if the state of stresses on that plane plots a point on the failure envelope, like point B. The state of stresses represented by point C cannot exist since it lies above the failure envelope. Since the Mohr-Coulomb failure envelope characterizes the state of stresses under which the material starts to slide, it is usually referred to as the yield locus, YL. 

When orientation is introduced deliberately it usually is controlled so that its effects are known in advance. However, frozen-in orientation can be most undesirable when not created under controlled conditions and its effects in consequence are uncertain. This is most likely to happen when a melt is subjected to high stresses combined with reduced intervals between shearing and setting such conditions would arise when melt temperatures were low, and low temperatures were applied after shaping (as an example, by means of a cooling bath). 

The first and foremost step in failure analysis of ceramics consists of identifying the fracture origin and the type of cracking, which throws light on the type of failure such as failure due to impact, residual stress combined with load, thermal shock, improper machining, oxidation and corrosion. This is aided by micro- and macrofracto-graphy, examination of microstructure by SEM, chemical analysis and metallographic examination.

High levels of stress combined with lack of sleep or distorted wake/sleep cycles (e.g., shift work) leads to elevated levels of circulating cortisol. Cortisol depresses the synthesis and release of thymic hormones resulting in compromised development of T lymphocytes and a depressed immune response. Light inhibits the production of melatonin so its level falls when individuals have inadequate sleep. This reduces the melatonin-dependent inhibition of CRH release which amplifies the increase in circulating cortisol. The stress induced immunosuppression is therefore enhanced and prolonged. 

The corresponding experimental investigation should then focus on collecting values of the failure stress for any principal stress combination in order to fully describe the envelope. It is obvious that such a detailed description represents an unrealistic task, especially in an industrial environment. Some basic assumptions described in the following sections allow us to reduce the parameter field of such an investigation.

It can be seen that uniaxial tension or compression lies on the two axes. Inside the box (outer boundaries) is the elastic range of the material. Yielding is predicted for stress combinations bv the outer line. 

Division 2 stress analysis considers all stresses in a triaxial state combined in acc-ordance with the maximum shear stress theory. Division 1 and the procedures outlined in this bcx)k c-onsider a biaxial state of stress combined in accordance with the maximum stress theory. Just as you would not design a nuclear reactor to the rules of Division 1, you would not design an air receiver by the techniques of Division 2. Each has its place and applications. The following discussion on categories of stress and allowables will utilize information from Dicision 2, which can be applied in general to all vessels. 

P = angle between parallel beams, degrees a — stress, combined, psi tTb = stress, bending, psi CTp = stress, bearing, psi ffc = stress, compression, psi act = critical budding stress, psi aT = stress, tension, psi T = shear stress, psi Tt = torsional shear stress, psi G = lift angle, degrees... 

Corrosion fatigue (CF) is erack formation due to varying stresses combined with corrosion. Alternatively, it may be defined as fatigue stimulated and accelerated by eorrosion. The problem is caused by tensile stresses, just as it is for SCC. The external difference between these two forms of deterioration is only that CF develops under varying stresses and SCC under static stresses. 

Lactic acid bacteria are nutritionally fastidious microorganisms, requiring rather complete nutritional supplementation. The cumulative effects of specific nutritional demands and environmental stress combined with, initially, low population density, makes most native lactics rather poor competitors. Consequently, these strains exhibit little activity unless fermentation is delayed or interrupted. 

Fa = allowable stress, combined loading, psi Fb = allowable stress, bending, psi Fc = allowable stress, compression, psi Fp = allowable stress, bearing pressure, psi Fs = allowable stress, shear, psi Ft = allowable stress, tension, psi Fy = minimum specified yield stress, psi I = moment of inertia, in. ... 

For example, in Figure 10.12 Mohr s circles (a) and (b) represent stress systems under which the powder would fail. In circle (c) the stresses are insufficient to cause flow. Circle (d) is not relevant since the system under consideration cannot support stress combinations above the yield locus. It is therefore Mohr s circles which are tangential to yield loci that are important to our analysis. 

To calculate the repulsive force, we need the local electrostatic potential and the local stress. Combining the equilibrium expression 2.39 with the Gouy-Chapman model of the diffuse layer and integrating yields the general relation...

The acceleration of a single failure mechanism is a highly non-linear function of temperature and/or voltage. The temperature Acceleration Factor (AFj) and voltage Acceleration Factor (AF can be calculated separately and is the subject of most studies of reliability physics. The total acceleration factor of the different stress combinations will be the product of the acceleration factors of temperature and voltage,... 

Secondly, due to the varying stiffness of the PCB caused by the components fixed on the board, the bending curve varies across the PCB. This means that the stress situation in the solder joints is not defined. Normal stress combined with shear stress occurs that make the extrapolation of the results found to the real world rather difficult. Also, in bending, the creep behavior of the solder has to be taken into account. Bending frequencies above 5Hz usually lead to failure in the leads of components or the components themselves rather than failure in the solder joints.
