CHAPTER – 4 THREE PARAMETER FRACTURE CRITERION
4.1 MODIFIED TWO-PARAMETER FRACTURE CRITERION K max = K F �(1 − m) � The two – parameter fracture criterion as per Newman is, σf �� σu (4.1)

Here KF and m are two fracture parameters evaluated from base line test data. σf is the failure stress normal to the direction of the crack in a body σu is the nominal stress required to produce a plastic hinge on the net section. The modified two-parameter fracture criterion is an empirical relation developed by Rao and Acharya between the failure stress and the elastic stress intensity factor at failure which is given by, K max σf σf p = K F �(1 − m) � � − (1 − m) � � � σu σu (4.2)

Here there are three parameters KF, m and p, evaluated from the baseline test data, σf is the failure stress, σu is the nominal stress and Kmax is the elastic stress intensity factor at failure. The two parameter fracture criterion of Newman explained above applies relations derived within the scope of Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics (LEFM). In this criterion, the two fracture parameters take account of the deviation of the stress to failure from the stress calculated pursuant to LEFM principles. These parameters have to be calculated earlier in pretests known as base line tests to be conducted under identical conditions of the material. It was possible neither to find

the failure stress of pressure vessels by means of the fracture parameter obtained from fracture mechanics specimen nor to find the failure load of the pressure vessel using the fracture parameters of pressure vessel. Rao and Acharya then developed an empirical relationship between the failure stress and the elastic stress intensity factor at failure. The results obtained using this three parameter fracture criterion is found to be in reasonable agreement with the test results. The significant parameters affecting the size of a critical crack in a structure are the applied stress levels, the fracture toughness of the

    When discussing types of fractures, a Jones Fracture is not likely to come up, however, they are common among athletes and those who use their feet often. In a brief description, Jones fractures occur in the small area of the fifth metatarsal, the foot, and is usually due to overuse, repetitive stress, or trauma. The break can either be a stress fracture or an acute, sudden break. Though they are less common, they are more difficult to treat than avulsion fractures.…

    The foundation of Materials Science lies in characterization of a material’s properties. Among those properties the greatest interest lies in the strength of materials, being the most basic requirement for any kind of construction. This lab aims first to describe the strength of 1045 annealed and cold-rolled steel, 2024-T4 aluminum, and cast iron through tensile testing. This includes characterization of yield strengths, modulus of elasticity, ultimate tensile strength, and fracture strength for each material. An emphasis is placed on elastic-plastic deformation in terms of ductility and how temperature and fatigue can affect this transition. Elastic and plastic…

    The first biophysical principle I am going to talk about is force summation. Force summation is the combination of different body parts moving in order to create a greater force. For an object to move, momentum has to be applied to that object. So, the amount of momentum an object has, is determined by the sum of all forces generated by each moving body part. In order to gain maximum momentum, the force needs to be generated by using 4 principles.…

    A compound fracture, also known as open fracture, is a fracture of the bone wherein the affected bone penetrates out from the skin and there is laceration of the surrounding soft tissue. A broken bone refers to a fracture, in medical terminology. Bone fractures are quite common, with people experiencing at least two in their lifetime, on an average (Eisenberg, 2007). A fracture occurs when the affected bone is subject to a physical force that is stronger than it can sustain. Age has a lot to do with the susceptibility to fracture, with it occurring quite commonly in children, although it is usually not as complicated as when fractures occur in adults. Older people due to their bones becoming more brittle experience fractures that occur due to falls that would not normally affect younger people (Jonathan Cluett, 2006).…

    This is the capacity of a beam or slab to withstand failure in bending. It is measured by loading unreinforced 100 x 100 mm concrete beams with a 500mm span. The flexural strength is expressed as “Modulus of Rupture” (MR) in MPa and is about 12 to 20% of compressive strength. Beam specimens properly made in the field, consolidate by vibration in accordance with CSA A23.23C and tap sides to release bubbles. After 24 hours immersed in water for curing and cured in a standard manner, and tested while wet because flexural tests are extremely sensitive to specimen preparation, handling, and curing procedure.…

    DOI: 10.2514/1.18589 This paper presents the results of studies that have been carried out at the National Research Council Canada on the effect that corrosion pillowing has on the structural integrity of fuselage lap joints. Modeling of corrosion pillowing using finite element techniques showed that the stress near the rivet holes increased to the material (Al 2024T3) yield strength when the corrosion present was above 6% thickness loss. In addition, the analysis showed that pillowing resulted in a stress gradient through the skin thickness, which suggested that semi-elliptical cracks with high aspect ratios could form. During teardowns of service-exposed lap joints, these types of cracks were found at numerous holes and a closer examination of the fracture surfaces revealed the presence of fatigue striations. Therefore, a new source of multisite damage, other than fatigue, was identified.…

    Various modes of fracture propagation can be inferred from straight-line periods that develop on log-log plots of net pressure versus time. These modes characterize different fracture shapes. Fracture closure and fluid leakoff parameters can be determined from the analysis of fracturing pressures resulting from closure (pump-in/flowback [PI/FB]) tests. Chapter 9 provides additional fracturing analysis information. Collection and analysis of fracturing pressures are facilitated by the monitoring vehicles provided by service companies. These vehicles are equipped with computer hardware and software that can digitize, display, analyze and record relevant data.…
