Typically, this comes in the form of a simplified interaction rule: if a criterion based on the size, shape and separation of the defects is satisfied, then they are judged to interact and cannot be analysed independently. When interaction is judged to occur, the defects may be re-characterised as a larger, enclosing defect. Rules for predicting defect interaction and then specifying the size of the re-characterised defect need to be conservative across a wide range of situations, so they are often informed by studies using parametric finite element analysis and laboratory testing. This article discusses the interaction of defects in inelastic materials, focussing on the determination of limit loads and the elastic-plastic crack driving force for co-planar crack-like defects. New methods for parametric modelling and data analysis are introduced, with examples demonstrating the use of inelastic modelling in formulation of interaction criteria.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"4 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2019-03-14","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116718227","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Although there are several classifications used by tool manufacturers, carbide inserts for face milling can be categorised according to their cutting edge angle. In this study, the material removal performance of square, round and high-feed inserts, which all have different cutting edge angles, was investigated through cutting trials conducted without coolant on forged SA508 Gr.3 Cl.2. Predictive tool life models for round and high-feed inserts were developed by means of the response surface methodology and their adequacy was checked through the analysis of variance. Cutting speed versus feed per tooth contour plots are presented against predicted tool life values which facilitate the selection of cutting conditions ensuring desired tool life. The experimental data has demonstrated that using inserts with lower cutting edge angle would significantly improve cycle times especially in the rough milling stage where the surface integrity is not of primary interest. However, it should be taken into account that limitations exist mainly due to the process stability and capabilities of machine tools.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"23 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"117154078","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

System start-ups and shut-downs as well as power transients will produce low-cycle fatigue loadings of components. The aim of this work is to study the low cycle fatigue behavior of Alloy 800H base metal and weldments at 700°C. The weldment specimens were machined from gas tungsten arc welding (GTAW) butt-welded plate such that the loading direction was oriented transverse to the welding direction. Fully reversed total-strain controlled low-cycle fatigue tests have been performed at total strain ranges of 0.6, 0.9, 1.2 and 1.5%. For all the low-cycle fatigue tests, triangular test waveforms with a constant strain rate of 10−3/s were applied. Low-cycle fatigue testing was conducted in accordance with ASTM Standard E606 on servo-hydraulic test machines. And also, creep-fatigue experiments were carried out at 700°C employing 0.6% total strain range and 10−3/s strain rate using trapezoidal waveform with tension hold time. The main focus is to characterize the low-cycle fatigue properties for Alloy 800H weldment specimens from the cyclic deformation behavior and fatigue fracture behavior. The cyclic deformation behavior was influenced by total strain range and material property. The fatigue life was decreased with increasing the total strain range for both base metal and weldment. However, the lives of weldment specimens have a longer life than that of base metal at lower total strain ranges. It was also observed that creep effects play a significant role in fatigue life reduction.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"27 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133685790","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The main interest of the present research is to experimentally characterise ductile damage in different conditions of strain rate (from quasi-static to 103s−1) and temperature (from −80°C to 180°C). Estimations of damage accumulation along the plastic regime have been taken by measuring the stiffness reduction of the material. The effects of strain localisation and necking have been accounted for by monitoring the changes in the geometry of the specimens during the test. At high speed these experiments have required the use of an in-situ shadowgraph method to monitor the sample silhouette and accurately calculate stress-strain behaviour throughout the test. The design of a novel experimental rig to perform high speed interrupted tensile tests has also been needed, in order to measure the damage accumulation in those conditions. The low and high temperature tests have been carried out inside an environmental chamber maintaining the rest of the technique unchanged. These experiments at varying strain rate and temperature have allowed to better understand the effect these conditions have on damage properties.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"12 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"127379952","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Due to different definitions, existing CTOD test methods may determine different CTOD toughness for stationary and growing cracks even for a standard specimen, such as single edge notched bend (SENB) specimen. In the USA, ASTM 1820 uses the J-integral conversion method to determine CTOD, whereas in the UK, BS 7448 adopts the plastic hinge model to determine CTOD. In contrast, ISO 12135 uses the plastic hinge model to determine the initiation CTOD, but the J-conversion method to determine a CTOD-R curve. Thus, those standards may determine different CTOD values for the same material, leading to a long-time dispute. Recently, a double clip gage (DCG) method was used in the oil and gas industry to measure CTOD. As such, there are three typical CTOD test methods: plastic hinge model, J-conversion method, and DCG method.\u0000 To better understand those CTOD test methods for SENB specimens, the present paper first gives a brief review of CTOD standard test methods. This includes the CTOD definitions, plastic hinge model, J-conversion method, modified plastic hinge model, and DCG method, BS 7448, ASTM E1820, and ISO 12135. Those CTOD test methods are then evaluated using available test data for various ductile steels in literature. The experimental results of CTOD at fracture initiation and crack tearing are compared, and the differences are discussed.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"40 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129963336","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Bastid, Kevin Hughes","doi":"10.1115/PVP2018-84194","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1115/PVP2018-84194","url":null,"abstract":"In fracture toughness test standard BS EN ISO 15653 for weld and HAZ specimens, there is limited guidance about how the weld width, and the weld metal to parent yield strength mismatch ratio can affect the fracture toughness of materials, nor how to interpret the results should these parameters fall outside the permitted limits given in the Standard. This research was carried out to evaluate how the values of J determined from fracture toughness test results are affected by the weld width and weld strength mismatch, by using FEA models of single edge notched bend (SENB) specimens.\u0000 Fracture toughness results from specimens notched into the weld centreline, of different mismatch ratios and weld widths, are compared with homogeneous materials specimens. The results show that for any mismatch ratio, fracture toughness for welds wider than 20mm are similar to homogeneous material. However, the fracture toughness decreases as the weld become narrower than 20mm. When this variation is taken as a percentage between a homogeneous material and a welded specimen, J varies for each weld width following the same trend for a specific mismatch ratio, independently of the material strength. To enable prediction of the fracture toughness behaviour of welded specimens, equations have been developed for comparison to homogeneous weld metal or homogeneous parent metal, as a function of the weld mismatch ratio and the weld width.\u0000 The real question is whether the Standard methods can nonetheless determine weld metal fracture toughness accurately in overmatched welds of different widths. From comparisons of J values extracted directly from the contour integral, and J values calculated using the standard equation (but based on load-CMOD data), it was found that standard methods vary by less than 5% in the majority of the cases. The exception was for the combination of mismatch ratio above 1.46 and welds narrower than 20mm. Therefore, it could be said that the Standard BS EN ISO 15653 is conservative with the overestimation percentage of 10%, since all model cases within the Standard limits of mismatch of 1.5, the largest over-estimation was only 6%, and typically less than 4%.","PeriodicalId":428760,"journal":{"name":"Volume 6A: Materials and Fabrication","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-07-15","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"132461837","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
