Instead of precracking the NRB specimens, apparent fracture toughness using three different notch root radii was extrapolated to a zero radius to infer sharp crack fracture toughness. The reference temperature using A302B NRB specimens was determined to be -89°C, while A3028 C(T) specimens yield To of -87.3°C. In applying ASTM E 1921 to the NRB geometry, a simple scheme to remove notch root radius bias from apparent fracture toughness was developed. In addition, a size correction for converting NRB results to comparable IT-C(T) results was investigated.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":"2 1","pages":"305-317"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89588065","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}

First, a three-dimensional finite element model of a low-pressure compressor disk containing a surface crack at the snap radius is developed. The stress intensity factor distributions along the surface crack front with various crack shapes and sizes in the disk under a typical engine operation condition are calculated. Then, the effect of biaxial stresses on the stress intensity factor of a crack emanating from a tie bolt hole in a representative compressor disk is investigated using the weight function approach. Emphasis is given to determining the effect of the bolt hole plastic zone on the fracture parameters when the compressor disk is highly loaded. Finally, a new theoretical model for the estimation of the fracture parameters of a through-thickness crack in the web region is proposed using a definition of local biaxial stress ratio. The studies show that the developed model can provide better estimation of the plastic zone size and the crack-tip opening displacement than those existing models.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":"56 1","pages":"391-404"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89826463","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}

A key part of the screening evaluation process is the completion of an innovative ecological scoping checklist. This checklist helps to (1) determine if complete pathways to ecological receptors exist; (2) determine how the impacted media should be aggregated spatially for screening, establishing the functional/operational boundaries of the assessment; and (3) gather information to develop the site conceptual model (SCM). The SCM includes contaminant sources, dominant transport pathways and exposure routes, and potential receptors. The scoping checklist consists of a series of questions and placeholders for field notes, which are intended to guide the risk assessor in developing the SCM, and provide the decision-makers with consistent information on receptors, potential transport pathways and potential exposure pathways.

Three parameters are chosen for correlating fatigue life: the Smith-Watson-Topper (SWT) parameter for normal fracture, Fatemi-Socie (FS), and Kandil-Brown-Miller parameters (KBM) for shear fracture. A life computation procedure is employed in which rainflow cycle counting on normal (SWT) or shear (FS, KBM) strain history and the Miner-Palmgren rule are used. It is found that, while the life calculation procedure appears to be viable and each parameter yields acceptable results for most loading conditions, there are cases for which correlation is poor. The SWT parameter performed well except for torsion-dominated cycles, where it overpredicted lives. The FS and KBM parameters did better than the SWT parameter in torsion, but showed poor performance in some other loading conditions.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":"42 1","pages":"79-93"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"77638370","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}

Many materials exhibit grossly different behavior when discontinuities are present in the structure. These may be inherent in the material or may stem from poor manufacturing, handling, and/or design practices. Inclusion of fracture behavior in the design models is the subject of fracture mechanics. Ultimately, a knowledge of fatigue and fracture becomes very important in avoiding disaster. This paper is written with two primary purposes: to characterize the physical nature of fracture, and to dramatize the need to characterize the central flat fracture differently from the surface, shear fracture. To this end, the contents of the paper are organized as follows: (1) validity limits of fracture mechanics: this information was originally developed for the purpose of extracting similar fracture data and will be used here to help characterize bulk constraint effects and to establish the existence of the surface effect; (2) analysis of crack face displacements of planar specimens subjected to loads: this includes actual crack-, separation-, and stretch-profiles; and (3) consideration of three-dimensional fracture in light of the existence of two distinct fracture zones that exhibit different failure mechanisms; for this purpose, G and J as a functitin of depth below surface are discussed, as well as several constraint factors as a function of depth.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":"56 1","pages":"115-138"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"86922425","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 specimen tested at 500°C showed significant oxidation, especially along the grain boundaries. In addition, there were changes in various physical properties of the composites at elevated temperatures: oxidation, phase transformation, viscoplastic flow of matrix, and interface reaction. The measurement of oxide thickness of both with and without load indicated that the oxidation of the matrix material was more severe with applied load than without load for the same amount of exposure time. Simple spectrum loading tests were conducted to examine the effect of test temperature on the formation of oxidation and its influence on the damage accumulation in the composites. Different numbers of applied cycles per block were used: n 1 and n 2 = 10, 100, and 1000 cycles. The change in temperature along with stress acted as thermal cycle that further introduced damages into the composites and reduced their life. As the number of applied cycles increased, the failure life of the composites was increased. The small number of cycles per block showed a shorter life due to more frequent changes in temperature level.","PeriodicalId":8583,"journal":{"name":"ASTM special technical publications","volume":"11 1","pages":"204-220"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2000-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"89527680","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}
