Question
A compact tension specimen is tested according to ASTM standard E399. The load
displacement curve is shown in the Figure below with PQ= 120 kN (Type 1 curve). The specimen
dimensions are B=0.5 cm, W=10 cm, and “a” =5 cm. If the materials yield stress is 600 MPa are
the conditions correct for a valid K1C measurement?
Please look up McEviley’s textbook on the thickness criterion for a valid fracture toughness value.

Transcribed Image Text:The image depicts a graph comparing load versus displacement, featuring three types of loading behaviors labeled as Type I, Type II, and Type III.
1. **Axes**:
- The vertical axis represents "Load."
- The horizontal axis represents "Displacement."
2. **Type I**:
- Shows a linear increase in load with displacement until it reaches a point where \( P_s = PQ \).
- There is a marked point for "3% Secant."
3. **Type II**:
- Demonstrates an increase in load followed by a small drop at \( P_s \), then a rise to reach \( P_{\text{max}} \) and slight decline.
- It highlights the distinct points \( P_Q \) and \( P_s \).
4. **Type III**:
- The load increases with displacement without any initial drop, reaching \( P_{\text{max}} \). It ends with a rapid drop afterward.
- Here, \( P_{\text{max}} = PQ \), indicating a direct correlation between these two points.
This diagram is useful for understanding different structural response behaviors under varying loads and displacement conditions.

- A tension test is being conducted on a steel-rod specimen with a gauge length of L0=2 in and initial diameter of d0=0.5 in. Data were collected to form the conventional stress-strain diagram as shown. From the diagram, f = 74.0 ksi, e = 104.0 ksi , g = 85.0 ksi , and h = 0.15 in/in. Assuming that the strain remains constant throughout the region between the gauge points, determine the nominal strain ε experienced by the rod if it is elongated to L = 2.7 in . Assuming that the stress is constant over the cross-sectional area and if the tension force used is P = 11.0 kips, find the nominal stress experienced by the rod. Determine the force P needed to reach the ultimate stress in the steel-rod specimen.arrow_forwardA hot rolled steel tension test sample has a diameter of 6 mm and the original gage length of 30 mm.
