Fatigue Testing: Calculating ΔK vs da/dN from R & Max Stress

Click For Summary
The discussion focuses on calculating ΔK versus da/dN for a Single Edge Notched Tension (SENT) sample in fatigue testing. The user seeks guidance on plotting these values using data from different R and maximum stress readings, referencing ASTM E647 for assistance. A suggestion is made to consult MIL-HDBK-5H, which, despite being superseded, contains valuable information and is accessible online. The handbook includes a figure that summarizes a step-by-step process for the calculations. This resource may provide the necessary clarity to complete the lab report effectively.

Hello Everybody,

Im doing my lab report on Fatigue testing for a Single Edge Notched Tension (SENT) sample and need to plot ΔK vs da/dN for a series of a vs N readings at different R and maximum stress values (attached in the picture). I've just been given one equation for Ki and told that I need to use ASTM E647 for assistance (attached equation). However after hours of going through it I was unable to figure out how to get ΔK vs da/dN from the data and information. Any step by step help would be highly appreciated. Please please.

Thanks

There is a discussion of this starting on page 9-147 in MIL-HDBK-5H. That handbook has been superseded, but it is full of good information AND is available online. Just search MIL-HDBK-5H to find a copy. This figure summarizes two pages of step by step discussion that should help you.

Thread 'UV filter for home central heating?'

Had my central air system checked when it sortta wasn't working. I guess I hadn't replaced the filter. Guy suggested I might want to get a UV filter accessory. He said it would "kill bugs and particulates". I know UV can kill the former, not sure how he thinks it's gonna murder the latter. Now I'm finding out there's more than one type of UV filter: one for the air flow and one for the coil. He was suggesting we might get one for the air flow, but now we'll have to change the bulb...
