Find arrest time of crack by using strain gages

Submitted by Nguyen Van Chau on

I have experiment by using strain gages series which mounted along crack path propagation direction, I can find exactly the initatial time of crack but not know how to find arrest time of crack. Crack tip stops between 2 strain gages and the signal of them can be got. Following is the Figure of strain gage mounted on specimen.

      

The J integral

Submitted by Zhigang Suo on

For a crack in an elastic body subject to a load, the elastic energy stored in the body is a function of two independent variables: the displacement of the load, and the area of the crack. The energy release rate is defined by the partial derivative of the elastic energy of the body with respect to the area of the crack.

Analytic Vs Experimental Solution for a simple beam experiment

Submitted by Zartasha Mustansar on

Dear Abaqus Users.

Can anyone pleasehelp me regarding the solution of a simple beam experiment.

I am trying to findthe tip displacement of a cantilever beam and compare the outputs with"Analytic solution" to confirm FE results.

The assumptions thatI am following are:

Length=200mm

Width=20mm

Depth/Thickness=25mm

Force/Load = 100N(concentrated force)

E=209.E3

Poisson's ratio=0.3

Number of elementsused for meshing = 29

Types of elements Iam using for Cantilever beam are:

C3D4

Micro Scratch Testing CrN Coating on Titanium Alloy

Submitted by NANOVEA on

Specific Coatings are used to further increase performance of titanium alloy parts at elevated temperatures. More specifically, Chromium Nitride (CrN) Coatings are designed to perform under conditions of high load and temperature. By using scratch testing it is possible to detect premature adhesive failure of the CrN coating in real-life applications.
