The cruciform bend fracture mechanics specimen was developed at Oak Ridge National Laboratory (ORNL) to introduce a far-field, out-of-plane biaxial bending stress component in the test section that approximates the nonlinear stresses resulting from pressurized-thermal-shock or pressure-temperature loading of a nuclear reactor pressure vessel (RPV). Tests with the cruciform specimen demonstrated that biaxial loading can have a pronounced effect on shallow-flaw fracture toughness in the lower transition temperature region for an RPV material. High-constraint deep-flaw compact tension C(T) and low-constraint shallow-flaw cruciform fracture toughness data were used to assess the ability of the Weibull methodology to predict the observed effects of biaxial loading on shallow-flaw fracture toughness. A new hydrostatic stress criterion along with five equivalent-stress criteria from the literature were selected to serve as candidate kernels in the integral formulation of the Weibull stress. Among these candidates, the hydrostatic stress criterion, derived from the first invariant of the Cauchy stress tensor, was determined to have the required sensitivity to multiaxial-loading states. In addition, a new calibration technique developed by researchers at the University of Illinois for determining the necessary Weibull parameters is applied to the C(T) and cruciform data. A three-parameter Weibull model based on the hydrostatic stress criterion is shown to predict the experimentally observed biaxial effect on cleavage fracture toughness by providing a scaling mechanism between uniaxial and biaxial loading states. In summary, the conclusions that can be drawn from this study are as follows: (1) With respect to its effect on fracture toughness, the biaxial effect is a constraint effect. (2) A Weibull statistical fracture model has been successfully calibrated with uniaxial toughness data obtained from a conventional high-constraint C(T) specimen and a uniaxially loaded shallow-flaw cruciform that is effectively equivalent to a conventional shallow-flaw SE(B) specimen. (3) The calibrated fracture model was able to successfully predict the intermediate constraint-loss effects associated with two levels of biaxial loading. (4) These preliminary results at a single test temperature offer encouragement that complex multiaxial loading effects on transition region fracture toughness can be predicted with statistical fracture models developed using data obtained from conventional specimens. (5) Future work is required to investigate these effects at other temperatures within the transition region.","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":"74506346","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}

Bain, David Miller","doi":"10.1520/STP14814S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1520/STP14814S","url":null,"abstract":"Many aircraft component failures originate from small-surface flaw cracks in highly stressed locations. It is therefore desirable to measure the threshold stress intensity factor that simulates the key conditions of high-stress and small semicircular surface crack shape. Such a technique has been developed and demonstrated on multiple titanium and nickel-base alloys. This technique is effective at both room and elevated temperatures and at both low and high mean stress. The test method is described in detail, but in brief a small EDM flaw is made on the surface of a rectangular specimen. The crack length is monitored via electrical potential drop technique. The crack length and aspect ratio versus the change in electrical potential across the crack tip has been measured and is used to control the load shed during the experiment. Load sheds up to C = - 1181 m - 1 have been demonstrated to give comparable thresholds to those measured using single edge notch or compact tension geometries with lower shed rates. Typical experimental results on both Ti-6Al-4V and an advanced nickel-base superalloy (KM4) are shown at both room temperature and elevated temperatures. This technique allows a rapid determination of threshold stress intensity factor for a material in a manner simulating the types of constraint experienced in components.","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":"80248173","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}

{"title":"3-D Finite Element Modeling of Ductile Crack Growth in Thin Aluminum Materials","authors":"A. Gullerud, R. H. Dodds, R. Hampton, D. Dawicke","doi":"10.1520/STP13397S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1520/STP13397S","url":null,"abstract":"This work describes the development and verification of a 3-D model to predict stable, Mode I crack growth in thin, ductile aluminum alloys. The model extends the standard 2-D form of the crack tip opening angle (CTOA) methodology, which determines crack extension based on obtaining a critical angle at the crack tip. When the CTOA reaches the critical value, all the nodes along the current, 3-D crack front are released simultaneously, thereby growing the crack in a self-similar manner. Evaluation of the CTOA occurs at a specified distance behind the crack tip; this decouples CTOA evaluation from mesh refinement. The CTOA-based model also includes adaptive load control strategies to minimize the effects of discrete load increments on the growth response. To evaluate the effectiveness of the described approach, this work describes a validation study using load-crack extension data from 2.3-mm-thick Al 2024-T3 specimens tested at NASA-Langley. The test matrix includes C(T) and M(T) specimens, with varying widths (50 to 600 mm), a/W ratios, and levels of constraint to suppress out-of-plane bending. Comparisons of load-crack extension curves from experiments and analyses of a constrained 150-mm C(T) specimen provide a calibrated critical CTOA value of 5.1°. Analyses using the calibrated CTOA value for constrained and unconstrained specimens provide predictions of peak load in good agreement with the experimental values.","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":"81914329","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 data show the existence of overlapping β and a relaxations in the experimental creep time range studied. The β process is stronger in the amorphous than in the semi-crystalline material and, in both cases, shows different aging time and temperature dependencies.

The model assesses the combined effects of identifiable multiple variables that can contribute to fatigue crack growth.

A generalized empirical methodology is proposed for the estimation of fatigue crack growth rates as functions of these variables.

Trimble","doi":"10.1520/STP14819S","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.1520/STP14819S","url":null,"abstract":"Current research on wood reinforcement has focused on the use of fiber-reinforced plastic (FRP) strips or fabrics bonded to wood members. Although significant increases in stiffness and strength have been achieved by thisreinforcing technique, there is a concern about the reliable performance of the wood-FRP interface bond, which can be susceptible to delamination. The objective of this study is to present a combined analytical/ experimental study to evaluate the effect of moisture on fracture toughness of composite/wood bonded interfaces under Mode I loading. A contoured double cantilever beam (CDCB) specimen is used to characterize the fracture toughness of both wood-wood and wood-FRP samples. The specimens are designed by the Rayleigh Ritz method to achieve a linear rate of compliance with respect to crack length and are calibrated experimentally and also analytically by the finite element method. Both wood-wood and wood-FRP samples are tested under dry and wet conditions, and bonded interface fracture toughness data under Mode I loading are obtained. The guidelines and procedures for the modeling and design of CDCB specimens for hybrid or dissimilar adherends using a Rayleigh-Ritz model are presented briefly, and a modified Rayleigh-Ritz method is further developed. The effect of moisture on fracture toughness is evaluated, and increases in interface fracture toughness are observed due to moisture absorption for wet wood-wood and wood-FRP samples; the toughening of the interface under moisture is due mainly to a much more plastic fracture failure mode of the interface.","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":"86682561","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}
