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

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 A suggestion is made to consult MIL-HDBK-5H, which, despite being superseded, contains valuable information and is accessible online.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 That handbook has been superseded, but it is full of good information AND is available online.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 'Local pressures in turbocharger housing?'

This is question for fluid mechanics. Static pressure in the exhaust manifold(turbo car engine) is usually 1.2 to 2.5 times higher than the boost pressure(intake manifold pressure).Boost pressure is around 1bar guage pressure(2bar absolute). Can the local static pressure somewhere inside a turbine housing ever be lower than atmospheric pressure, is this possible? here some links where CFD is used...
