Alongside these results, isothermal cyclic stress-strain data are provided for ascending and descending strain amplitudes at discrete temperatures encompassing the strain and temperature range of the TMF tests. Testing on any individual specimen was terminated after a fixed energy consumption. By superimposing the symmetrical isothermal loops about a common origin, the isothermal data are then used to predict the observed (asymmetrical) TMF behaviour. The method works well for materials which show history independence such as IN100. However, for some of the materials, slight modification to the procedure is required.

Benson","doi":"10.1520/STP15839S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1520/STP15839S","url":null,"abstract":"Although polyimide based composites have been used for many years in a wide variety of elevated temperature applications, very little work has been done to examine the durability and damage behavior under more prototypical thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) loadings. Synergistic effects resulting from simultaneous temperature and load cycling can potentially lead to enhanced, if not unique, damage modes and contribute to a number of nonlinear deformation responses. The goal of this research was to examine the effects of a TMF loading spectrum, representative of a gas turbine engine compressor application, on a polyimide sheet molding compound (SMC). High performance SMCs present alternatives to prepreg forms with great potential for low cost component production through less labor intensive, more easily automated manufacturing. To examine the issues involved with TMF, a detailed experimental investigation was conducted to characterize the durability of a T650-35/ PMR-15 SMC subjected to TMF mission cycle loadings. Fatigue damage progression was tracked through macroscopic deformation and elastic stiffness. Additional properties, such as the glass transition temperature (T g ) and dynamic mechanical properties were examined. The fiber distribution orientation was also characterized through a detailed quantitative image analysis. Damage tolerance was quantified on the basis of residual static tensile properties after a prescribed number of TMF missions. Detailed micro-structural examinations were conducted using optical and scanning electron microscopy to characterize the local damage. The imposed baseline TMF missions had only a modest impact on inducing fatigue damage with no statistically significant degradation occurring in the measured macroscopic properties. Micro-structural damage was, however, observed subsequent to 100 h of TMF cycling which consisted primarily of fiber debonding and transverse cracking local to predominantly transverse fiber bundles. The TMF loadings did introduce creep related effects (strain accumulation) which led to rupture in some of the more aggressive stress scenarios examined. In some cases, this creep behavior occurred at temperatures in excess of 150°C below commonly cited values for T g . Thermomechanical exploratory creep tests revealed that the SMC was subject to time dependent deformation at stress/temperature thresholds of 150 MPa/230°C and 170 MPa/180°C.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89208531","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 investigations were performed on the uncoated, the coated substrate material and also on the pure coating material, in contrast to most existing work. The results of the isothermal LCF tests show that the fatigue life of the substrate/coating-composite is governed by the fatigue behaviour of the bulk coating material. The out-of-phase TMF cyclic deformation behaviour of the substrate/coating-composite reflects that of the components and is well described by an isostrain composite model. When the mechanical strain amplitudes experienced by the coating material are plotted against the fatigue life, the data on the coated material in isothermal LCF tests at the upper and lower temperatures of the TMF cycle, respectively, and in the TMF tests coincide. This gives further evidence that the behaviour of the coating materials governs that of the coated composite.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78860296","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}

To identify an appropriate approach for PCB analyses, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency Region 9, Biological Technical Assistance Group (BTAG), has considered PCB environmental fate and ecotoxicity, reviewed methods and laboratory capabilities for PCB analysis, and evaluated site-specific data from California and elsewhere. Results of this review indicate analytical methods for routine measurement of specific PCB congeners are currently available, and are cost-effective in comparison with Aroclor-based methods. Accordingly, BTAG has developed a core list of congeners and a phased approach for PCB congener-specific analysis in ecological risk assessments.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"75788824","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}

Renauld","doi":"10.1520/STP15257S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1520/STP15257S","url":null,"abstract":"Thermomechanical fatigue (TMF) is a unique type of fatigue process in which a component is simultaneously subjected to fluctuating loads and temperature. Isothermal life prediction techniques are often not applicable to TMF conditions since mechanical properties are temperature dependent with different damage mechanisms. There are two major cycles in TMF: the in-phase (IP) cycle where the maximum strain peak coincides with the maximum temperature and the out-of-phase (OP) cycle where the maximum strain and the lowest temperature coincide. Experimental and analytical methods are developed to address the effect of thermomechanical strain cycling on coated nickel base superalloy IN-738LC material which is a γ' (Ni 3 Al) strengthened material used primarily for land based gas turbine blades. The coating system was a NiCoCrAlY overlay type. Tubular specimens in the two conditions, coated and uncoated, were primarily tested in out-of-phase (OP) TMF loading with a temperature range of 482-871°C. Using a viscoplastic concept which accounts for strain/temperature cycling response of substrate and coatings in terms of hysteresis loops which characterize the evolution of stress/strain/cycle up to mid-life cycle, a life prediction model was developed incorporating the effect of creep (strain hold-period), environment, and temperature. Test results show the OP TMF type cycle is the most damaging cycle for the coated IN-738LC material when compared to both in-phase and isothermal cycles. All experiments were strain-controlled with a triangular waveform and a strain-ratio A = e a m p /e m e a n = ∞.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"85221311","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}
