the minimum fracture toughness of the steel in a load bearing part can be used to decide whether a defect which has been found and measured in the part needs to be repaired or not. this is one of the important ways in which ndt results are used at the present time. unfortunately the fracture...
I have the results of compact tension tests and charpy v-notch tests for some steels.
I need to know how to calculate the fracture toughness
corresponding to each of these measurements?
I understand that the results of these tests are affected by the temperature of the test specimens.
I also...
now all you need is the blast over pressure as a function of range and energy of explosion.
there was a neat little d-o-d disc calculator used by civil defence back in cold war days for the calculation of blast pressures and casualty rates from nuclear weapons explosions. The scale was in tons...
