  • Influence of mixed mode I/III loading on Dynamic Fracture Toughness of mild steel at room and low temperatures
    Materials Science and Engineering: A, 2014
    Co-Authors: Kartik Prasad, M. Srinivas, S.v. Kamat
    Abstract:

    Abstract The effect of loading angle, ϕ , on the Dynamic Fracture Toughness at room and low temperatures (−60 and −196 °C) as well as the effect of temperature on mode I and mixed mode I/III Dynamic Fracture Toughness for mild steel was studied using a modified Charpy test specimen. The Dynamic Fracture Toughness was found to increase with increasing loading angle or increasing mode III loading component at all three test temperatures. The mode I as well as mixed mode I/III Dynamic Fracture Toughness was also found to decrease with decrease in temperature below room temperature. The results were explained on the basis of the operative Fracture mechanisms and the nature of stress field ahead of crack under mode I and mixed-mode loading.

  • Dynamic Fracture Toughness of a near alpha titanium alloy Timetal 834
    Journal of Alloys and Compounds, 2009
    Co-Authors: Kartik Prasad, S.v. Kamat
    Abstract:

    Abstract The Dynamic Fracture Toughness of Timetal 834 alloy under impact loading was evaluated using fatigue pre-cracked specimens and compared with the Fracture Toughness under static loading condition evaluated in an earlier study. It was found that the Dynamic Fracture Toughness under impact loading was higher than the Fracture Toughness value under static loading conditions. This behaviour was attributed to the effect of strain rate on strain hardening exponent and yield strength. The effect of notch root radius on Dynamic Fracture Toughness of this alloy was also studied. It was found that there exists a critical notch radius ( ρ 0 ) of ∼150 μm below which the Dynamic Fracture Toughness was independent of notch root radius. Above ρ 0 , the Dynamic Fracture Toughness increased linearly with square root of notch root radius.

  • Static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness of an Al-Li 8090 alloy plate
    Fatigue & Fracture of Engineering Materials and Structures, 1994
    Co-Authors: N. Eswara Prasad, S.v. Kamat, G. Malakondaiah, V. V. Kutumbarao
    Abstract:

    — The static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness of an Al-Li 8090 alloy plate was evaluated as a function of notch orientation. Static Fracture Toughness is marginally lower than the Dynamic Fracture Toughness in all the three notch orientations that were studied. The Fracture mechanism remains unchanged and the degree of in-plane anisotropy is significant, but more or less similar under static and Dynamic conditions.

  • A method for testing interlaminar Dynamic Fracture Toughness of polymeric composites
    Composites Part B: Engineering, 2004
    Co-Authors: C T Sun, C Han
    Abstract:

    Static and Dynamic Mode I delamination Fracture in two polymeric fiber composites was studied using a WIF test method. The Dynamic test was conducted on a Split Hopkinson Pressure Bar apparatus. Crack speeds up to 1000 m/s were achieved. Dynamic Fracture and crack propagation were modeled by the finite element method. Dynamic initiation Fracture Toughness of S2/8552 and IM7/977-3 composites were obtained. The Dynamic Fracture Toughness of IM7/977-3 associated with the high speed propagating crack was extracted from the finite element simulation based on the measured data. It was found that the Dynamic Fracture Toughness of the delamination crack propagating at a speed up to 1000 m/s approximately equals the static Fracture Toughness.

  • Experimental Research of Quasi-static and Dynamic Fracture Toughness of 685 Homogeneous Steel
    Journal of Experimental Mechanics, 2012
    Co-Authors: Chen Jie
    Abstract:

    In order to investigate the crack initiation and development of 685 homogeneous steel under quasi-static loading and Dynamic loading,quasi-static Fracture Toughness and Dynamic Fracture Toughness were tested respectively by using quasi-static loading testing machine and modified Hopkinson bar and adopting three-point bend specimen.Fractographs reveal that twinned martensite causes the Fracture Toughness decline of 685 homogeneous steel.Carbon is the element that strongly promotes the formation of twinned martensite.So carbon content should be reduced properly to improve the Fracture Toughness of 685 homogeneous steel.When the loading rate I is under 1.8778×106MPam/s,the Dynamic Fracture Toughness of 685 homogeneous steel decreases with the increase of the loading rate.However,when the loading rate I is higher than 1.8778×106MPam/s,the Dynamic Fracture Toughness of 685 homogeneous steel rises due to the effect of thermal softening near the crack tip.Crack initiation and development were recorded by high speed camera technique.Crack propagation velocity was measured.The calculated Dynamic Fracture Toughness by using(Crack Mouth Opening Displacement) CMOD method is consistent with that calculated from the signal of resistance strain gauge.
