TUTORIAL 4 FRACTURE, IMPACT, FRACTURE TOUGHNESS

Mechanical Failure ISSUES TO ADDRESS... • How do flaws in a material initiate failure? • How is fracture resistance quantified; how do different material classes compare? • How do we estimate the stress to fracture? • How do loading rate, loading history, and temperature affect the failure stress?

FRACTURE MODES

† Some materials will deform p plastically y before they y fracture they y are called ductile materials. Others will fracture after elastic deformation, they are called brittle materials.

Ductile fracture

bolt

Brittle fracture

strain

Example: Failure of a Pipe • Ductile failure:

--one piece p --large deformation

• Brittle failure:

--many pieces --small deformation Figures from V.J. Colangelo and F.A. Heiser, Analysis of Metallurgical Failures (2nd ed.), Fig. 4.1(a) and (b), p. 66 John Wiley and Sons, Inc., 1987. Used with permission.

DUCTILE FRACTURE Crack initiation

Mechanism (a) Necking due to localization of plastic deformation (b) microvoid formation (fracture initiation) (c) microvoid coalescence to form a crack (d) crack propagation accompanied by plastic deformation (e) final shear fracture at 45o to tensile direction (shear lips) (f) crack can be stable (sustained for some time and leads to failure only when stress increases.

BRITTLE FRACTURE

† Crack initiation and propagation with no plastic deformation (prior or during) during). † Fracture surface flat, Crack propagates rapidly normal to tensile axis. Brittle fracture surface is shiny. MICRO FEATURES

MACRO FEATURES

IMPACT TESTING Tensile test determines the behavior of the material when it is subjected to slow rate of deformation (10-4-10-2 / s) Impact test determines the behavior when the material is subjected to sudden stress (impact) i.e. very rapid rate of deformation (103/s). Impact test evaluates material material’ss brittleness under sudden loading. loading Impact test is one of the older tests designed for materials testing. Measure impact energy from the difference in initial and final heights of a pendulum that strikes the specimen and breaks it.

IMPACT TEST MEASURES: 1. IMPACT TOUGHNESS: The energy (J) absorbed by the fracture of the specimen (plastic yielding and creation of surface energy of crack). It is different from tensile toughness (J/cm3) determined from area under the curve of true stress-strain curve in uniaxial tensile tests. 2 DUCTILE TO BRITTLE TRANSITION TEMPERATURE (DBTT) 2.

Computing Brittle Fracture Stress, σc

Brittle Brittle fracture stress ( σC ) depends on the fracture toughness (KC), the size (a) of pre-existing cracks or flaws and f the geometry factor (f=1 for internal flaws and 1.12 for surface flaws). F t Fracture stress, t σc

If KC and a are fixed fracture stress for brittle fracture is determined

σ c = K C / f πa

Loading Rate • Increased loading rate...

-- increases σy and TS -- decreases %EL

An increased rate gives less time for dislocations to move past obstacles.
