Effect of loading rate on the fracture toughness of structural steel weld metal

Said, Mohd Noor Bin Mohd January 1989 (has links)
Defect assessment against fracture initiated failure is carried out using fracture characterising parameters determined under quasi-static rates of loading. In practice, however, there are many instances where much higher loading rates prevail such as collision, blast and earthquake damage; and in transport. For these situations the rate sensitivity of the material to fracture should be considered. Fracture toughness tests (COD) have been conducted on C-Mn steel weld metal over a range of temperature and loading rates. The effect of increased loading rates is to reduce the crack-opening displacement whilst changing the fracture behaviour, such change being accompanied by an increase in the ductile-brittle transition temperature. Thermally activated flow is found to be the predominant mechanism governing plastic flow at intermediate strain-rates. It is then possible to evaluate the effect of strain-rate and temperature on the yield strength as a function of rate parameter kT 1n (A/ε), based on the Arrhenius equation. An attempt is presented to model the influence of temperature and loading rate on the fracture initiation toughness, COD. It may be fairly said that numerical results quite well describe the behaviour of the experimentally determined variation of COD with temperature and loading rate over the range 0.1 < K < 10⁶MPam<sup>1/2 s</sup>^-1 and O < T < 500^oK. Thus, it has been demonstrated that the constitutive surface δI (T, K<sub>I</sub>) can be produced numerically using the constitutive relation σy (ε,ε, T). Consideration of the defect sizes for engineering critical assessment showed that a significant reduction in maximum allowable defect size, bar a<sub>max</sub> can result as a consequence of increased loading rate.

O tipo de cravamento estudado é aplicado em projetos de componentes que necessitem transmitir movimento de rotação, similar às articulações de pedais de freios automotivos. Se a folga da articulação, neste caso, for menor que 0,02mm causará restrições no movimento da articulação, podendo não fechar a válvula de vácuo do sistema de frenagem causando a diminuição da eficiência, em contra partida, se a folga for maior que 0,15mm o acionamento do freio poderá apresentar ruídos. Outro problema é a presença de trincas passantes geradas pela escolha de parâmetros de processos inadequados no cravamento. Usualmente estes parâmetros não são especificados no projeto do sistema de frenagem, causando alta variabilidade no processo de manufatura. Este trabalho apresenta a análise de cravamento considerando seis fatores que foram escolhidos para iniciar a análise: geometria do punção, rugosidade do punção, diâmetro da ponta da haste a ser cravada, espessura da parede do componente tubular, profundidade da indentação e folga entre esfera e diâmetro do tubo para indentação. O processo de manufatura foi simulado experimentalmente através de um dispositivo especialmente projetado e montado para este trabalho e comparado com os resultados obtidos com o software MSC Superforge 2005 / Abstract: Crimping is a cold metal forming process that presents low costs for use in holding tubular components. The type of crimping analyzed is used in projects of components that transmit rotating motion, such as joining systems of brake pedals. If the joining clearance, in this case, is less than 0,02mm the brake movement will be restrained and may not close the vacuum valve of the break system what could cause reduction of efficiency; however, if that clearance is greater than 0,15mm may cause excessive noisy. Another problem is the presence of cracks or fissures generated by the choice of inappropriate process parameters. These parameters are not usually specified in the product design leading to high process variability. This work presents six factors that were chosen to start the analysis: punch geometry, roughness of the punch, diameter of the rod end, thickness of the tubular component, indentation depth, and position of indentation load. The crimping manufacturing process was simulated experimentally through the fixture specially projected and built to this work and compared with the results obtained with the software MSC Superforge 2005 / Mestrado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Mestre em Engenharia Mecânica

Esta energia tem caráter qualitativo e na aplicação no projeto estrutural, reduz-se a comparações entre as curvas de transição dúctil-frágil dos materiais. Com o surgimento da instrumentação do ensaio Charpy clássico é possível determinar a propriedade mecânica, tenacidade à fratura dinâmica, KId, muito utilizada na Mecânica de Fratura. O objetivo deste trabalho é analisar o sistema de instrumentação desenvolvido de acordo com a normatização ISO 14556(2000) para uma máquina de ensaio Charpy clássico, determinar e avaliar a tenacidade à fratura dinâmica, a partir do ensaio Charpy instrumentado, do aço AISI 4340 sob várias condições metalúrgicas obtidas através de tratamentos térmicos de têmpera e revenimento nas temperaturas de 473K, 573K, 673K e 773K. Foi observado que o sistema de instrumentação da máquina, a interpretação dos resultados dos esforços envolvidos no processo de fratura e o tempo para fratura são parâmetros de influência na determinação da tenacidade à fratura dinâmica. / Abstract: The classical Charpy test is used since 1900 and it is possible to determine from it the global energy for deformation and fracturing the specimen and this energy is named toughness which is important for selection steels considering ductile-brittle transition temperature. The Instrumented Charpy test is very important because it produces more material parameters, for example, the dynamic fracture toughness (KId), that can be used in Fracture Mechanics. However, there are several difficulties associated with the instrumentation of the impact machine ant processing digital signal, mainly in terms of the interpretation instrumented impact test results. The purpose of this work is to analyze the instrumentation system developed in accordance with normalization ISO 14556 (2000) to an Charpy machine and to determine and analyze the dynamic fracture toughness of the AISI 4340 steel in some metallurgical conditions obtained from treatment of quenching and tempering at 473K, 573K, 673K, and 773K. It was observed that the instrumentation system, the interpretation of the loads involved in the process of fracture and time to fracture are significant parameters in determining the dynamic fracture toughness. / Doutorado / Materiais e Processos de Fabricação / Doutor em Engenharia Mecânica
