This document discusses toughness and fracture toughness testing. It defines toughness as the energy absorbed by a material until fracture. Common toughness tests include the Charpy and Izod impact tests, which measure the energy absorbed during a high-velocity impact. However, these tests do not provide data needed for designing with cracks and flaws. Fracture toughness is a better property for design, as it indicates the stress required to propagate a preexisting flaw. The document outlines fracture toughness testing methods like compact tension and single edge notch bending specimens. It also discusses factors that influence fracture toughness values like material thickness, grain orientation, and plane strain versus plane stress conditions.

CROSS-CORRELATION OF STRESSES IN THE TRAN REINFORCEMENT UNDER SHEAR LOAD AND ...IAEME Publication
The main aim of the present study is to give an answer to the question whether the transverse reinforcement, which is required for the shear resistance of columns, must be added to the one required for the cross section confinement, or it is possible for one to substitute the other. The superposition of these reinforcements is defended by the fact that the shear reinforcement results from the shear action, while the transverse reinforcement, required by the confinement, results from the axial compression of the section. The present study is experimental and uses strain gauges, in order to check the stresses of the transverse reinforcement. Useful conclusions are drawn.
Stress concentrations produced by discontinuities in structures such as holes, notches, and fillets will be introduced in this section. The stress concentration factor will be defined. The concept of fracture toughness will also be introduced.
In these slides, an important mechanical property of Materials, that is HARDNESS, is discussed along with the different procedures which are used for determination of Hardness value of a certain material.
I hope, you'll find it helpful...!
Experiment 4 - Testing of Materials in Tension Object .docxSANSKAR20
Experiment 4 - Testing of Materials in Tension
Object: The object of this experiment is to measure the tensile properties of two polymeric
materials, steel and aluminum at a constant strain rate on the Tension testing machine.
Background: For structural applications of materials such as bridges, pressure vessels, ships,
and automobiles, the tensile properties of the metal material set the criteria for a safe design.
Polymeric materials are being used more and more in structural applications, particularly in
automobiles and pressure vessels. New applications emerge as designers become aware of
the differences in the properties of metals and polymers and take full advantage of them. The
analyses of structures using metals or plastics require that the data be available.
Stress-Strain: The tensile properties of a material are obtained by pulling a specimen of
known geometry apart at a fixed rate of straining until it breaks or stretches to the machines
limit. It is useful to define the load per unit area (stress) as a parameter rather than load to
avoid the confusion that would arise from the fact that the load and the change in length are
dependent on the cross-sectional area and original length of the specimen. The stress,
however, changes during the test for two reasons: the load increases and the cross-sectional
area decreases as the specimen gets longer.
Therefore, the stress can be calculated by two formulae which are distinguished as
engineering stress and true stress, respectively.
(1) = P/Ao= Engineering Stress (lbs/in
2 or psi)
P = load (lbs)
Ao= original cross-sectional area (in
2)
(2) T= P/Ai = True Stress
Ai = instantaneous cross-sectional area (in
2)
Likewise, the elongation is normalized per unit length of specimen and is called strain. The
strain may be based on the original length or the instantaneous length such that
(3) =(lf - lo)/ lo = l / lo = Engineering Strain, where
lf= final gage length (in)
lo= original gage length (in)
(4) T= ln ( li / lo ) = ln (1 +) = True Strain, where
li = instantaneous gage length (in)
ln = natural logarithm
For a small elongation the engineering strain is very close to the true strain when l=1.2 lo,
then = 0.2 and T= ln 1.2 = 0.182. The engineering stress is related to the true stress by
(5) T= (1 + )
The true stress would be 20% higher in the case above where the specimen is 20% longer
than the original length. As the relative elongation increases, the true strain will become
significantly less than the engineering strain while the true stress becomes much greater than
the engineering stress. When l= 4.0 lo then = 3.0 but the true strain =ln 4.0 = 1.39.
Therefore, the true strain is less than 1/2 of the engineering strain. The true stress (T) = (1+
3.0) = 4, or the true stress is 4 times the engineering stress.

Theory/Analysis
A knowledge of the behaviour of structural steel under load is essential to ensure structural collapse does not occur and that serviceability requirements are achieved. In these respects the following mechanical properties of a material are required:-
1. The yield stress, σy (or 0.2% proof stress)
2. The Elastic (or Young’s) Modulus, E
3. The maximum tensile strength, σmax
4. The stress at failure, ie the fracture stress, σf
5. The % elongation at failure
Apparatus
1. 500kN Denison Testing Machine
2. Extensometer and Denison extension gauge (measures cross head movement)
3. Grade 250 plain round mild steel bar, 20mm diameter
Characteristic strength = 250 N/mm²

4. Grade 460 deformed high yield steel.
Reinforcing bar, T16, 16mm diameter.
Characteristic strength = 460 N/mm²
Conforms to BS 4449.
Method
Each of the bars in turn is placed in the jaws of the testing machine.
The 50mm extensometer is attached to the bar and zeroed.
Load is applied and recorded in increments up to failure. For each load increment, extension readings from the extensometer and the Denison extension gauge are noted.
At the yield point, the extensometer is removed to prevent damage to it and readings continue on the Denison extension gauge.
The load at failure and the manner of failure are noted.

We all have good and bad thoughts from time to time and situation to situation. We are bombarded daily with spiraling thoughts(both negative and positive) creating all-consuming feel , making us difficult to manage with associated suffering. Good thoughts are like our Mob Signal (Positive thought) amidst noise(negative thought) in the atmosphere. Negative thoughts like noise outweigh positive thoughts. These thoughts often create unwanted confusion, trouble, stress and frustration in our mind as well as chaos in our physical world. Negative thoughts are also known as “distorted thinking”.

2024.06.01 Introducing a competency framework for languag learning materials ...Sandy Millin
http://sandymillin.wordpress.com/iateflwebinar2024
Published classroom materials form the basis of syllabuses, drive teacher professional development, and have a potentially huge influence on learners, teachers and education systems. All teachers also create their own materials, whether a few sentences on a blackboard, a highly-structured fully-realised online course, or anything in between. Despite this, the knowledge and skills needed to create effective language learning materials are rarely part of teacher training, and are mostly learnt by trial and error.
Knowledge and skills frameworks, generally called competency frameworks, for ELT teachers, trainers and managers have existed for a few years now. However, until I created one for my MA dissertation, there wasn’t one drawing together what we need to know and do to be able to effectively produce language learning materials.
This webinar will introduce you to my framework, highlighting the key competencies I identified from my research. It will also show how anybody involved in language teaching (any language, not just English!), teacher training, managing schools or developing language learning materials can benefit from using the framework.
Operation “Blue Star” is the only event in the history of Independent India where the state went into war with its own people. Even after about 40 years it is not clear if it was culmination of states anger over people of the region, a political game of power or start of dictatorial chapter in the democratic setup.
The people of Punjab felt alienated from main stream due to denial of their just demands during a long democratic struggle since independence. As it happen all over the word, it led to militant struggle with great loss of lives of military, police and civilian personnel. Killing of Indira Gandhi and massacre of innocent Sikhs in Delhi and other India cities was also associated with this movement.

Fracture Mechanics & Failure Analysis:Lecture Toughness and fracture toughness
1. 1. TOUGHNESS
“The energy per unit volume that can be absorbed by a material up to
the point of fracture is called toughness”.
Toughness of a material may be measured by calculating the area
under the stress-strain diagram and impact test indicates the relative
toughness energy.
2. IMPACT TESTING TECHNIQUES
ASTM Standard E 23, ‘‘Standard Test Methods for Notched Bar Impact
Testing of Metallic Materials.’’
Various types of notched-bar impact tests are used to determine the
tendency of a material to behave in a brittle manner.
Two standardized tests, the Charpy and Izod, were designed and are
still used to measure the impact energy, sometimes also termed notch
toughness.
The primary difference between the Charpy and Izod techniques lies in
the manner of specimen support, as illustrated
The Charpy V-notch (CVN) technique is most commonly used in the
United States.
2. For both Charpy and Izod, the specimen is in the shape of a bar of
square cross section, into which a V-notch is machined as shown in
figure.
Figure: Specimen used for charpy and izod impact test
The apparatus for making V-notch impact tests is illustrated
schematically in Figure 9.19b.
3. The load is applied as an impact blow from a weighted pendulum
hammer that is released from a cocked (tilt) position at a fixed height
h.
The specimen is positioned at the base as shown. Upon release, a knife
edge mounted on the pendulum strikes and fractures the specimen at
the notch, which acts as a point of stress concentration for this high
velocity impact blow.
The pendulum continues its swing, rising to a maximum height h’,
which is lower than h. The energy absorption, computed from the
difference between h and h’, is a measure of the impact energy.
4. Furthermore, these are termed impact tests in light of the manner of
load application. Variables including specimen size and shape as well
as notch configuration and depth influence the test results.
v- notch test:( calculate energy by using formula)
There is a formula which is used to measure the toughness if the equipment
is not computerized.
E = Pl (COSα2 - COSα1)
Where
E = Energy absorbed by a material, joules
P = Weight of the pendulum, Kg
l = length of the pendulum, m
α2 = lift angle, degree
α1 = Breaking angle, degree
Example: A MS sample is subjected to impact test, calculate the absorbed
energy of the specimen if the breaking angle is 100o.
The configuration of the impact tester is: Weight of the pendulum 26.72Kg,
Length of the pendulum 0.750m and lift angle 140.5o.
5. 3. SIGNIFICANCE OF FRACTURE TOUGHNESS:
Impact test gives quantitative comparative useful data with relative
simple test specimens and equipment. However this test does not
provide property data for design purpose for material selection
containing cracks and flaws. Or
The chief difficulty is that the result of the charpy test are difficult to
use in design, since there is no measurement in terms of stress level,
moreover there is no correlation of charpy data with flaw size.
Fracture toughness values can be used in mechanical design to predict
the allowable flaw size in alloy with limited ductility when acted upon
by specific stresses.
6. 4. INTRODUCTION TO FRACTURE TOUGHNESS
Fracture toughness is a quantitative way of expressing a material's
resistance to brittle fracture when a crack is present. If a material has
much fracture toughness it will probably undergo ductile fracture.
Brittle fracture is very characteristic of materials with less fracture
toughness
Definition:
A property that is a measure of a material’s resistance to brittle
fracture when a crack is present.
Or
Fracture toughness is a property which describes the ability of a
material containing a crack to resist fracture, and is one of the most
important properties of any material for virtually all design
applications.
Or
Fracture toughness is an indication of the amount of stress required to
propagate a preexisting flaw. It is a very important material property
since the occurrence of flaws is not completely avoidable in the
processing, fabrication, or service of a material/component
Or
Flaws may appear as cracks, voids, metallurgical inclusions, weld
defects, design discontinuities, or some combination thereof.
Since engineers can never be totally sure that a material is flaw free, it
is common practice to assume that a flaw of some chosen size will be
present in some number of components and use the linear elastic
fracture mechanics (LEFM) approach to design critical components.
7. This approach uses the flaw size and features, component geometry,
loading conditions and the material property called fracture toughness
to evaluate the ability of a component containing a flaw to resist
fracture.
A parameter called the stress-intensity factor (K) is used to determine
the fracture toughness of most materials
STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR K:
The stress intensity factor, , is used in fracture mechanics to predict
the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack caused by a
remote load or residual stresses
The stress-distribution at the crack tip in a thin plate for an elastic solid
in terms of the coordinate shown in figure11-2
8. In dealing with the stress intensity factor there are several mode of
deformation that could be applied to a crack.
These have been standardized as shown in figure11-3(dieter) or figure
9.9(calister).
9. Mode I: the crack opening mode, refer to a tensile stress applied in the y-
direction normal to the faces of the crack. This is the usual mode for
fracture-toughness test and the critical value of stress-intensity determined
for this mode would be designated KIC.
Mode II: the forward shear mode, refer to s shear stress applied normal to
the leading edge of the crack but in the plane of the crack.
Mode III: theparallel shear mode is for shearing stresses applied parallel to
the leading edge of the crack.
The stress intensity factor is a function of loading, crack size, and
structural geometry. The stress intensity factor may be represented by
the following equation:
Where: KI is the fracture toughnessin
σ is the applied stress in MPa or psi
a is the crack length in meters or inches
β
is a crack length and component geometry factor that is different for each specimen
and is dimensionless.
The critical value of the stress-intensity factor (KI) that cause failure of
the plate is called the fracture toughness (KIC) of the material
KIC = Y σ√πa
Or
Fracture toughness KIC has the unusual units MPa√m and ksi√in or
psi√in
10. Y or f is a dimensionless parameter or function that depends on both
crack and specimen sizes and geometries, as well as the manner of load
application.
Relative to this Y parameter, for planar specimens containing cracks
that are much shorter than the specimen width, Y has a value of
approximately unity.
For example, for a plate of infinite width having a through-thickness
crack (Figure 9.11a), Y = 1.0; whereas for a plate of semi-infinite width
containing an edge crack of length a (Figure 9.11b), Y ≈ 1.12.
Mathematical expressions for Y have been determined for a variety of
crack-specimen geometries; these expressions are often relatively
complex.
For relatively thin specimens, the value of Kc will depend on specimen
thickness. However, when specimen thickness is much greater than the
crack dimensions, Kc becomes independent of thickness; under these
conditions a condition of plane strain exists.
11. By plane strain we mean that when a load operates on a crack in the
manner represented in Figure 9.11a, there is no strain component
perpendicular to the front and back faces. The Kc value for this thick-
specimen situation is known as the plane strain fracture toughness KIc
; {the crack-extension resistance under conditions of crack-tip plane
strain(Mode I)}.
furthermore, it is also defined by
KIC = Y σ√πa
5. Problems related to Fracture toughness:
Example 1
A structural plate component of an engineering design must support
207MPa in tension. If aluminum alloy 2024-T851 is used for this application
what is the largest internal flaw size that this material can support? Use Y=1
and KIC of that alloy is 26.4Mpa√m.
Formula: KIC = Y σ√πa
Ans: the largest internal crack size that plate can support = 10.36mm
12. Example 2
The critical stress intensity for a material for a component of a design is
22.5Ksi√in. What is the applied stress that will cause fracture if the
component contains an internal crack 0.12in long? Assume Y=1.
Ans: 51.8Ksi
Example 3
What is the largest size (inches) internal crack that a thick plate of
aluminum alloy 7178-T651 can support at an applied stress of (a) ¾ of the
yield strength and (b) 1/2 of the yield strength? Assume Y=1.

16. 8. Orientation
The fracture toughness of a material commonly varies with grain
direction. Therefore, it is customary to specify specimen and crack
orientations by an ordered pair of grain direction symbols.
The first letter designates the grain direction normal to the crack plane.
The second letter designates the grain direction parallel to the fracture
plane.
For flat sections of various products, e.g., plate, extrusions, forgings, etc.,
in which the three grain directions are designated (L) longitudinal, (T)
transverse, and (S) short transverse, the six principal fracture path
directions are: L-T, L-S, T-L, T-S, S-L and S-T.
17. 9. Role of Material Thickness
Specimens having standard proportions but different absolute
size produce different values for KI. This results because the
stress states adjacent to the flaw changes with the specimen
thickness (B) until the thickness exceeds some critical dimension.
Once the thickness exceeds the critical dimension, the value of KI
becomes relatively constant and this value, KIC , is a true material
property which is called the plane-strain fracture toughness. The
relationship between stress intensity, KI, and fracture toughness,
KIC, is similar to the relationship between stress and tensile stress.
The stress intensity, KI, represents the level of “stress” at the tip of
the crack and the fracture toughness, KIC, is the highest value of
stress intensity that a material under very specific (plane-strain)
conditions that a material can withstand without fracture. As the
stress intensity factor reaches the KIC value, unstable fracture
occurs. As with a material’s other mechanical properties, KIC is
commonly reported in reference books and other sources.
18. i. Plane Strain - a condition of a body in which the displacements of
all points in the body are parallel to a given plane, and the values of
theses displacements do not depend on the distance perpendicular
to the plane
ii. Plane Stress – a condition of a body in which the state of stress is
such that two of the principal stresses are always parallel to a
given plane and are constant in the normal direction
10. Plane-Strain and Plane-Stress
When a material with a crack is loaded in tension, the materials
develop plastic strains as the yield stress is exceeded in the region near
the crack tip. Material within the crack tip stress field, situated close to
a free surface, can deform laterally (in the z-direction of the image)
because there can be no stresses normal to the free surface. The state
of stress tends to biaxial and the material fractures in a characteristic
ductile manner, with a 45o shear lip being formed at each free surface.
This condition is called “plane-stress" and it occurs in relatively thin
bodies where the stress through the thickness cannot vary appreciably
due to the thin section.
However, material away from the free
surfaces of a relatively thick component is not
free to deform laterally as it is constrained by
the surrounding material. The stress state
under these conditions tends to triaxial and
there is zero strain perpendicular to both the
stress axis and the direction of crack
propagation when a material is loaded in
tension. This condition is called “plane-strain”
19. and is found in thick plates. Under plane-strain conditions, materials
behave essentially elastic until the fracture stress is reached and then
rapid fracture occurs. Since little or no plastic deformation is noted,
this mode fracture is termed brittle fracture.
