ME 240 Homework Chapter 8: Failure 1. Cite one situation in which the possibility of failure is part of the design of a component or product. (Could be anything you can think of in your life or you have seen anywhere). 2. An aircraft component is fabricated from an aluminum alloy that has a plane strain fracture toughness of 38 MPa m . It has been determined that fracture results at a stress of 251 MPa when the maximum (or critical) internal crack length is 2.95 mm. a) Determine the value of πa for this same component and alloy at a stress level of 326 MPa when the maximum internal crack length is 1.48 mm. b) Under these circumstances will the component fail? 3. Which kind of fracture is associated with the intergranular crack propagation mechanism? 4. Estimate the theoretical fracture strength (in MPa) of a brittle material if it is known that fracture occurs by the propagation of an elliptically-shaped surface crack of length 0.25 mm that has a tip radius of curvature of 0.004 mm when a stress of 1060 MPa is applied. 5. For a brittle material that has a specific surface energy of 0.33 J/m 2 , and flexural strength and elastic modulus values of 88.1 MPa and 61 GPa, respectively, calculate the critical stress (in MPa) required for the propagation of a surface crack of length 0.04 mm. 6. A plate of an alloy steel has a plane-strain fracture toughness of 50 MPa m . If it is known that the largest surface crack is 0.5 mm long and that the value of Y is 1.1, which of the following can be said about this plate when a tensile stress of 1200 MPa is applied? (a) The plate will definitely not fracture. (b) The plate will definitely fracture. (c) It is not possible to determine whether or not the plate will fracture. 7. What is the magnitude of the maximum stress that exists at the tip of an internal crack having a radius of curvature of 2.5×10 -4 mm (0.9843×10 -5 in.) and a crack length of 4×10 -2 mm (1.575×10 -3 in.) when a tensile stress of 100 MPa (14500 psi) is applied? 8. An aluminum oxide component must not fail when a tensile stress of 10.5 MPa is applied. Determine the maximum allowable surface crack length if the surface energy of aluminum oxide is 0.90 J/m 2 . The modulus of elasticity of this material is 393 GPa. Homework of Chapter 9: Phase Diagrams 1
1. what are the three parameters that will affect the phase transformation? 2. How many phases may be in Equilibrium for binary phase diagrams and eutectic phase diagrams, respectively. 3. What is the difference of Eutectic, Eutectoid, & Peritectic phase transformations? 4. Consider the Cu-Ni binary phase diagram (see the following figure) and answer the questions: A copper-nickel alloy of composition 70 wt% Ni-30 wt% Cu is slowly heated from a temperature of 1300°C. (a) At what temperature does the first liquid phase form? (b) What is the composition of this liquid phase? (c) At what temperature does complete melting of the alloy occur? (d) What is the composition of the last solid remaining prior to complete melting? 5. Consider the sugar-water phase diagram, (a) How much sugar will dissolve in 1000 g of water at 80°C? (b) If the saturated liquid solution in part (a) is cooled to 20°C, some of the sugar will precipitate out as a solid, because as seen in the figure, the composition of the saturated liquid solution drops to 64 wt% sugar. How much of the solid sugar will come out of solution upon cooling to 20°C? 2
