AI Thread Summary
Static toughness data derived from tensile tests can potentially predict failure under impact loads, as the area under the stress-strain graph represents toughness. However, the discussion raises the question of whether conducting separate impact toughness tests is necessary, especially when static data is available. The impact tests mentioned include Charpy and Izod, which differ in specimen design and testing methods. The scenario described involves dropping an object from a height, indicating a high strain rate problem, which may complicate the direct comparison of static and dynamic toughness values. Ultimately, while static toughness can provide insights, the reliability of predictions for impact failures remains uncertain without empirical impact testing.

let me explain i do a static tensile test and get the stress strain graph. the area under the
graph is the toughness that means i can use this static toughness data to predict
the failure under impact loads


other idea is that i have done a impact toughess test.

if i can get the toughness value from a static stress strain graph why should i
again do a impact toughness test

let me explain

Is this coursework and have you been told to do both tests and explain why?

What impact tests are you considering ( Charpy?, Izod?, other?) and what is the difference between the specimens for tthe tensile and impact test?
 
this is not coursework. i drop an object from a height. that means it is a high strain rate
problem. can i use a static stress strain diagram and calculate the area under the curve

can i compare the strain energy of the impact and compare it with the area under
the static stress strain diagram
 
Posted June 2024 - 15 years after starting this class. I have learned a whole lot. To get to the short course on making your stock car, late model, hobby stock E-mod handle, look at the index below. Read all posts on Roll Center, Jacking effect and Why does car drive straight to the wall when I gas it? Also read You really have two race cars. This will cover 90% of problems you have. Simply put, the car pushes going in and is loose coming out. You do not have enuff downforce on the right...
Thread 'Physics of Stretch: What pressure does a band apply on a cylinder?'
Scenario 1 (figure 1) A continuous loop of elastic material is stretched around two metal bars. The top bar is attached to a load cell that reads force. The lower bar can be moved downwards to stretch the elastic material. The lower bar is moved downwards until the two bars are 1190mm apart, stretching the elastic material. The bars are 5mm thick, so the total internal loop length is 1200mm (1190mm + 5mm + 5mm). At this level of stretch, the load cell reads 45N tensile force. Key numbers...
I'm trying to decide what size and type of galvanized steel I need for 2 cantilever extensions. The cantilever is 5 ft. The space between the two cantilever arms is a 17 ft Gap the center 7 ft of the 17 ft Gap we'll need to Bear approximately 17,000 lb spread evenly from the front of the cantilever to the back of the cantilever over 5 ft. I will put support beams across these cantilever arms to support the load evenly
