Creep-Fatigue Life Prediction - A Ductility Model, Tarun Goswami Jan 1995

Creep-Fatigue Life Prediction - A Ductility Model, Tarun Goswami

Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications

Creep-fatigue life prediction methods are briefly reviewed. Phenomenological methods of life prediction are very popular, since they use several test and metallographic parameters in model formulation. They also require numerous test parameters determined from specialized tests. Requirements of phenomenological methods have been summarized. Ductility measurement and modeling aspects have been reviewed. A new model has been developed with the assumption that with increasing fatigue cycles the ductility gradually decreases and the specimen fails as a result of exhaustion of ductility. This has been achieved in terms of dynamic viscosity (product of stress and cycle time), equated with material toughness, which …


Creep Fatigue, Part Iii: Diercks Equation: Modification And Applicability, Tarun Goswami Jan 1995

Creep Fatigue, Part Iii: Diercks Equation: Modification And Applicability, Tarun Goswami

Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications

Creep-fatigue data of low allow steels were compiled from international sources, and trends in creep-fatigue behavior were identified in Paper I. Methods of life prediction and their trends were examined in Paper II with respect to compiled data. Diercks equation, a multivariate creep-fatigue life extrapolation equation, for SS, 304, in terms of strain range, temperature, hold time and strain rate parameters is modified and extended to the life prediction of low alloy steels in this paper.


Applicability Of Modified Diercks Equation With Nrim Data, Tarun Goswami Jan 1995

Applicability Of Modified Diercks Equation With Nrim Data, Tarun Goswami

Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications

The applicability of the modified Diercks equation (MDE) was assessed with elevated temperature low cycle fatigue (ETLCF) data generated by the National Research Institute for Metals (NRIM) for lCr-Mo-V, 1.25Cr-Mo, 2.25Cr-Mo and 9Cr-lMo steels respectively. The modified Diercks equation was assessed with data generated with symmetrical, slow-fast and hold-time waveforms for low alloy steels. The following characteristics were observed: Symmetrical waveforms: Five strain rates were used with these waveforms where predicted life was by a factor of ± x2 for 77%, 87%, 82% and 92% of data points for lCr-Mo-V, 1.25Cr-Mo, 2.25Cr-Mo and 9CrlMo steels respectively. Slow-fast waveforms: Diercks equation …


Creep Fatigue, Part I: Compilation Of Data And Trends In The Creep-Fatigue Behavior Of Low Alloy Steels, Tarun Goswami Jan 1995

Creep Fatigue, Part I: Compilation Of Data And Trends In The Creep-Fatigue Behavior Of Low Alloy Steels, Tarun Goswami

Biomedical, Industrial & Human Factors Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper describes an attempt to compile the creep-fatigue data of low alloy steels. In part I, international data have been collected to compare the variability that exists in a particular low alloy steel when characterized in different laboratories. From this work of compilation, trends in the creep-fatigue behavior of low alloy steels have been identified in Part II of this paper and a review of life prediction methods and assessments will be discussed in subsequent papers. The creep-fatigue behavior, in general, improved with the increase in chromium content; however, when additional alloying elements were added to a standard alloy …


Computation Of Stable Invariant Subspaces Of Hamiltonian Matrices, R. V. Patel, Z. Lin, Pradeep Misra Jan 1994

Computation Of Stable Invariant Subspaces Of Hamiltonian Matrices, R. V. Patel, Z. Lin, Pradeep Misra

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper addresses some numerical issues that arise in computing a basis for the stable invariant subspace of a Hamiltonian matrix. Such a basis is required in solving the algebraic Riccati equation using the well-known method due to Laub. Two algorithms based on certain properties of Hamiltonian matrices are proposed as viable alternatives to the conventional approach.


Finite-Dimensional Approximations Of Unstable Infinite-Dimensional Systems, G. Gu, P. P. Khargonekar, E. B. Lee, Pradeep Misra May 1992

Finite-Dimensional Approximations Of Unstable Infinite-Dimensional Systems, G. Gu, P. P. Khargonekar, E. B. Lee, Pradeep Misra

Electrical Engineering Faculty Publications

This paper studies approximation of possibly unstable linear time-invariant infinite-dimensional systems. The system transfer function is assumed to be continuous on the imaginary axis with finitely many poles in the open right half plane. A unified approach is proposed for rational approximations of such infinite-dimensional systems. A procedure is developed for constructing a sequence of finite-dimensional approximants, which converges to the given model in the L infinity norm under a mild frequency domain condition. It is noted that the proposed technique uses only the FFT and singular value decomposition algorithms for obtaining the approximations. Numerical examples are included to illustrate …


Transformation Based Endorsement Systems, Thomas Sudkamp Nov 1988

Transformation Based Endorsement Systems, Thomas Sudkamp

Computer Science and Engineering Faculty Publications

Evidential reasoning techniques classically represent support for a hypothesis by a numeric value or an evidential interval. The combination of support is performed by an arithmetic rule which often requires restrictions to be placed on the set of possibilities. These assumptions usually require the hypotheses to be exhausitive and mutually exclusive. Endorsement based classification systems represent support for the alternatives symbolically rather than numerically. A framework for constructing endorsement systems is presented in which transformations are defined to generate and update the knowledge base. The interaction of the knowledge base and transformations produces a non-monotonic reasoning system. Two endorsement based …


Measurement Of Neck Development In Tensile Testing Using Projection Moire, Raghavan Srinivasan, C. S. Hartley, C. Raju, J. Clave Jan 1982

Measurement Of Neck Development In Tensile Testing Using Projection Moire, Raghavan Srinivasan, C. S. Hartley, C. Raju, J. Clave

Mechanical and Materials Engineering Faculty Publications

The projection moire technique affords an accurate method of measuring the geometry of the necked region in a tensile specimen. Corrections to the measured stress, necessary to account for the triaxiality introduced by the neck, require values for the radius of curvature of the specimen at the minimum section. The spacing of fringes resulting from the interference between a grating projected on the specimen surface and a master grating not only provide information which permits calculation of the radius but also demonstrates any changes in symmetry resulting from plastic deformation. Results obtained by testing specimens of copper and mild steel …
