Study Notes
Fracture Types
- Cleavage fracture occurs when the material separates along definite crystallographic planes.
Stress-Strain Diagram
- The stress-strain diagram for steel typically exhibits characteristic points including:
- Yield point
- Ultimate tensile strength
- Fracture point
Charpy Impact Test
- The Charpy impact test is used to determine the fracture energy in impact testing.
- The test assesses the energy absorbed by a material during fracture.
- The test is used to determine the fracture energy of construction materials.
Fracture Energy
- The Charpy impact test assesses the energy absorbed during brittle fracture.
Temperature Influence
- Temperature affects the results of a Charpy impact test, influencing the fracture energy.
- Lower temperatures can lead to a decrease in fracture energy.
Ductility of Steel
- The most significant factor influencing the ductility of steel is grain size.
- Fine-grained steel is more ductile than coarse-grained steel.
- In the context of fracture mechanics, brittle fracture is most indicative of low ductility.
Loading Condition
- The loading condition affects the ductility of steel, with plane strain conditions reducing ductility.
Stress-Strain Diagram Analysis
- The point of necking on a stress-strain diagram is indicative of the ductility of steel.
