Numerical data are presented in tabulated and graphical form, and a summary of useful formulae is included. A list of sources from which the data have been prepared is given below. Tabulated material and process data or information are from the Cambridge Engineering Selector (CES) software (Educational database Level 2), copyright of Granta Design Ltd, and are reproduced by permission; the same data source was used for the material property and process attribute charts. It must be realised that many material properties (such as toughness) vary between wide limits depending on composition and previous treatment. Any final design should be based on manufacturers’ or suppliers’ data for the material in question, and not on the data given here.

FORMULAE AND DEFINITIONS STRESS AND STRAIN σt = F A σn = F Ao l lo ε t = ln ν =− εn = l−lo lo σ t = true stress σ n = nominal stress ε t = true strain ε n = nominal strain F = normal component of force Ao = initial area A = current area l o = initial length l = current length Poisson’s ratio, lateral strain longitudinal strain Young’s modulus E = initial slope of σ t − ε t curve = initial slope of σ n − ε n curve. Yield stress σ y is the nominal stress at the limit of elasticity in a tensile test. Tensile strength σ ts is the nominal stress at maximum load in a tensile test. Tensile ductility ε f is the nominal plastic strain at failure in a tensile test. The gauge length of the specimen should also be quoted. ELASTIC MODULI G= E 2 (1 +ν ) K= E 3 (1 − 2ν ) For polycrystalline solids, as a rough guide, Poisson’s Ratio ν≈ 1 3 Shear Modulus G≈ 3 E 8 Bulk Modulus K ≈ E These approximations break down for rubber and porous solids. 5 STIFFNESS AND STRENGTH OF UNIDIRECTIONAL COMPOSITES E II = V f E f + ( 1 − V f ) E m V f 1−V f E⊥ = + Ef Em −1 σ ts = V f σ ff + ( 1 − V f ) σ m y E II = composite modulus parallel to fibres (upper bound) E ⊥ = composite modulus transverse to fibres (lower bound) V f = volume fraction of fibres E f = Young’s modulus of fibres E m = Young’s modulus of matrix σ ts = tensile strength of composite parallel to fibres σ ff = fracture strength of fibres σm y = yield stress of matrix DISLOCATIONS AND PLASTIC FLOW The force per unit length F on a dislocation, of Burger’s vector b , due to a remote shear stress τ , is F = τ b . The shear stress τ y required to move a dislocation on a single slip plane is τy = cT bL where T = line tension (about 1 G b 2 , where G is the shear modulus) 2 L = inter-obstacle distance c = constant ( c ≈ 2 for strong obstacles, c < 2 for weak obstacles) The shear yield stress k of a polycrystalline solid is related to the shear stress τ y required to move a dislocation on a single slip plane: k ≈ 32 τ y . The uniaxial yield stress σ y of a polycrystalline solid is approximately σ y = 2 k , where k is the shear yield stress. Hardness H (in MPa) is given approximately by: H ≈ 3 σ y . Vickers Hardness HV is given in kgf/mm2, i.e. HV = H / g , where g is the acceleration due to gravity. 6 FAST FRACTURE K = Yσ The stress intensity factor, K : πa Fast fracture occurs when K = K IC In plane strain, the relationship between stress intensity factor K and strain energy release rate G is: K = EG 1 −ν 2 ≈ (as ν 2 ≈ 0.1 ) EG Plane strain fracture toughness and toughness are thus related by: K IC = “Process zone size” at crack tip given approximately by: r p = E G IC 1 −ν 2 ≈ E G IC 2 K IC π σ 2f Note that K IC (and G IC ) are only valid when conditions for linear elastic fracture mechanics apply (typically the crack length and specimen dimensions must be at least 50 times the process zone size). In the above: σ = remote tensile stress a = crack length Y = dimensionless constant dependent on geometry; typically Y ≈ 1 K IC = plane strain fracture toughness; G IC = critical strain energy release rate, or toughness; E = Young’s modulus ν = Poisson’s ratio σ f = failure strength STATISTICS OF FRACTURE Weibull distribution, Ps (V) = exp For constant stress: ∫ Ps (V) = exp − σ − V σ o σ σ o m m dV Vo V Vo Ps = survival probability of component V = volume of component σ = tensile stress on component Vo = volume of test sample σ o = reference failure stress for volume Vo , which gives Ps = m = Weibull modulus 1 = 0.37 e 7 FATIGUE Basquin’s Law (high cycle fatigue): ∆σ N αf = C1 Coffin-Manson Law (low cycle fatigue): ∆ε pl N βf = C 2 Goodman’s Rule. For the same fatigue life, a stress range ∆σ operating with a mean stress σ m , is equivalent to a stress range ∆σ o and zero mean stress, according to the relationship: ∆σ = ∆σ o 1 − σm σ ts Miner’s Rule for cumulative damage (for i loading blocks, each of constant stress amplitude and duration N i cycles): ∑ i Ni = 1 N fi Paris’ crack growth law: da = A ∆Kn dN In the above: ∆σ = stress range; ∆ε pl = plastic strain range; ∆K = tensile stress intensity range; N = cycles; N f = cycles to failure; α , β , C1 , C 2 , A, n = constants; a = crack length; σ ts = tensile strength. CREEP Power law creep: ε& ss = A σ n exp ( − Q / RT ) ε& ss = steady-state strain-rate Q = activation energy (kJ/kmol) R = universal gas constant T = absolute temperature A, n = constants 8 DIFFUSION D = Do exp ( − Q / RT ) Diffusion coefficient: Fick’s diffusion equations: J =−D C = concentration x = distance t = time dC dx ∂C ∂ 2C =D ∂t ∂ x2 and J = diffusive flux D = diffusion coefficient (m2/s) Do = pre-exponential factor (m2/s) Q = activation energy (kJ/kmol) HEAT FLOW q=−λ Steady-state 1D heat flow (Fourier’s Law): dT dx ∂T ∂ 2T =a ∂t ∂ x2 T = temperature (K) q = heat flux per second, per unit area (W/m2.s) Transient 1D heat flow: λ = thermal conductivity (W/m.K) a = thermal diffusivity (m2/s) For many 1D problems of diffusion and heat flow, the solution for concentration or temperature depends on the error function, erf : x C( x , t ) = f erf 2 D t or x T ( x , t ) = f erf 2 a t A characteristic diffusion distance in all problems is given by x ≈ characteristic heat flow distance in thermal problems being x ≈ D t , with the corresponding at . The error function, and its first derivative, are: erf ( X ) = X 2 π ∫0 ( ) exp − y 2 dy d [ erf ( X )] = dX and 2 π ( exp − X 2 ) The error function integral has no closed form solution – values are given in the Table below.

Failure strength is defined as the tensile elastic limit (usually yield stress) for all materials other than 2 / πσ 2f , which is ceramics, for which it is the compressive strength. The contours show K IC approximately the diameter of the process zone at a crack tip. Valid application of linear elastic fracture mechanics using K requires that the specimen and crack dimensions are large compared to this process zone. The design guide-lines are used in selecting materials for damage tolerant design. (Data courtesy of Granta Design Ltd) 20 III.5 MAXIMUM SERVICE TEMPERATURE Figure 3.5: Maximum service temperature. The shaded bars extend to the maximum service temperature – materials may be used safely for all temperatures up to this value, without significant property degradation. (Note: there is a modest range of maximum service temperature in a given material class – not all variants within a class may be used up to the temperature shown, so caution should be exercised if a material appears close to its limit).
