What is fracture toughness?

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
many design applications.
What is fatigue?
In materials science, fatigue is
the weakening of a material
caused by repeatedly applied
loads. It is the progressive and
localised structural damage that
occurs when a material is
subjected to cyclic loading.
4.1 Impact testing
Is a high strain
rate test which
determines the amount of
energy absorbed by a
material during fracture.
Two Types of Impact
Testing
Charpy Impact Testing

IZOD Impact Testing


Charpy Impact Test
 The
apparatus consists of a pendulum of
known mass and length that is dropped from a
known height to impact a notched specimen of
material.

 TheCharpy Impact Test was invented in 1900


by Georges Augustin Albert Charpy (1865-
1945).

 Charpy impact test are on conducted on


machines that are capable of measuring less
than 1 ft. lb. to 300 ft. lb. at temperatures
ranging from -320°F to over 2000°F
V-notch: 2mm deep, with 45°
angle and 0.25mm radius
along the base
IZOD Impact Testing
 IZOD Impact Testing can be done up to
240 foot-pounds. on standard single notch
and type-X3 specimens.

The test is similar to the Charpy


impact test but uses a different
arrangement of the specimen under
test. The Izod impact test differs from the
Charpy impact test in that the sample is
held in a cantilevered beam configuration
as opposed to a three-point bending
configuration.
4.2 Destructive testing
Destructive testing is the
method of identifying the point of
an applications failure.
Benefits of Destructive
Testing (DT)
Verifies properties of a material
Determines quality of welds
Helps you to reduce failures,
accidents and costs
Ensures compliance with
regulations
4.3 Fatigue testing

The definition of fatigue testing can be


thought of as simply applying cyclic
loading to your test specimen to
understand how it will perform under
similar conditions in actual use. The load
application can either be a repeated
application of a fixed load or simulation
of in-service loads. The load application
may be repeated millions of times and
up to several hundred times per second.
Why do a fatigue test?
In many applications, materials are
subjected to vibrating or oscillating forces.
The behavior of materials under such load
conditions differs from the behavior under
a static load. Because the material is
subjected to repeated load cycles
(fatigue) in actual use, designers are
faced with predicting fatigue life, which is
defined as the total number of cycles to
failure under specified loading conditions.
Fatigue testing gives much better data to
predict the in-service life of materials.
