In a previous paper, a criterion for multiaxial lifing of turbine disk bores made from a nickel base super alloy, DP-718, was substantiated using results from spin pit testing of mini disks. In this paper, another turbine and compressor disk alloy, Alloy 10, exhibiting a different material behavior than DP-718 is examined from multiaxial point of view. This new alloy manufactured by powder metallurgy processing, has a coarser grain size, lower tensile yield strength, contains a much finer distribution of brittle carbides in its microstructure and shows a significant difference in failure initiation behavior under low cycle fatigue when compared to DP-718. Under the multiaxiality conditions experienced by disk bores, Alloy-10 lives seem to correlate well using an effective stress based criterion, whereas DP-718 was found to follow principal stress based criterion. Interesting differences between DP-718 and Alloy-10 in alloy and fractographic behavior under uniaxial and multiaxial conditions are discussed.

The fatigue assessment of notches under multiaxial and non-proportional service loading is challenging. Simple models (e.g. local strain approach based on normal stress and strain) are of poor quality for this general case of stress states and ductile material behavior. Advanced approaches show high accuracy, but require additional material testing and calibration. From an engineering point of view, deviations are tolerable to a certain extent. This contribution introduces two approaches for modeling multiaxial notch fatigue which are easy to apply. The first approach is an extension of the classical local strain approach. The second approach implements a simplified multiaxial notch approximation which enables the use of the extended short crack model in practical applications. A large database with experiments on notched components under multiaxial stresses is set up and used to validate the proposed algorithms. Results show the effectiveness of both approaches for ductile steels. Both approaches can be useful for engineers who are faced to multiaxial fatigue of notched components.

ABSTRACT The distributions of 13 variables based on 10 laboratory tests measuring thyroid function were studied in euthyroid controls and in patients with toxic diffuse or toxic multinodular goitre. Density functions were fitted to the empirical data and the goodness of fit was evaluated by the use of the χ2-test. In a few instances there was a significant difference but the material available was in some respects too small to allow a very accurate estimation. The normal limits for each variable was defined by the 2.5 and 97.5 percentiles. It appears that in some instances these limits are too rigorous from the practical point of view. It is emphasized that the crossing point of the functions for euthyroid controls and hyperthyroid patients may be a better limit to use. In a preliminary analysis of the diagnostic efficiency the variables of total or free hormone concentration in the blood proved clearily superior to all other variables.

Abstract Magnetic gels and elastomers consist of magnetic or magnetizable colloidal particles embedded in an elastic polymeric matrix. Outstanding properties of these materials comprise reversible changes in their mechanical stiffness or magnetostrictive distortions under the influence of external magnetic fields. To understand such types of overall material behavior from a theoretical point of view, it is essential to characterize the substances starting from the discrete colloidal particle level. It turns out that the macroscopic material response depends sensitively on the mesoscopic particle arrangement. We have utilized and developed several theoretical approaches to this end, allowing us both to reproduce experimental observations and to make theoretical predictions. Our hope is that both these paths help to further stimulate the interest in these fascinating materials.

Technology-enhanced methods of dietary assessment may still face common limitations of self-report. This study aimed to assess foods and beverages omitted when both a 24 h recall and a smartphone app were used to assess dietary intake compared with camera images. For three consecutive days, young adults (18–30 years) wore an Autographer camera that took point-of-view images every 30 seconds. Over the same period, participants reported their diet in the app and completed daily 24 h recalls. Camera images were reviewed for food and beverages, then matched to the items reported in the 24 h recall and app. ANOVA (with post hoc analysis using Tukey Honest Significant Difference) and paired t-test were conducted. Discretionary snacks were frequently omitted by both methods (p < 0.001). Water was omitted more frequently in the app than in the camera images (p < 0.001) and 24 h recall (p < 0.001). Dairy and alternatives (p = 0.001), sugar-based products (p = 0.007), savoury sauces and condiments (p < 0.001), fats and oils (p < 0.001) and alcohol (p = 0.002) were more frequently omitted in the app than in the 24 h recall. The use of traditional self-report methods of assessing diet remains problematic even with the addition of technology and finding new objective methods that are not intrusive and are of low burden to participants remains a challenge.

Linearly Polarized

Linearly polarized cylindrical waves in four-dimensional vacuum gravity are mathematically equivalent to rotationally symmetric gravity coupled to a Maxwell (or Klein–Gordon) field in three dimensions. The quantization of this latter system was performed by Ashtekar and Pierri in a recent work. Employing that quantization, we obtain here a complete quantum theory which describes the four-dimensional geometry of the Einstein–Rosen waves. In particular, we construct regularized operators to represent the metric. It is shown that the results achieved by Ashtekar about the existence of important quantum gravity effects in the Einstein–Maxwell system at large distances from the symmetry axis continue to be valid from a four-dimensional point of view. The only significant difference is that, in order to admit an approximate classical description in the asymptotic region, states that are coherent in the Maxwell field need not contain a large number of photons anymore. We also analyze the metric fluctuations on the symmetry axis and argue that they are generally relevant for all of the coherent states.

Damage Rule

A series of tests for low cycle fatigue were conducted on the tubular specimens for 304 stainless steel under variable amplitude and irregular axial-torsional loading. Rainflow cycle counting and linear damage rule are used to calculate fatigue damage and four approaches, e.g. SWT(Smith-Watson-Topper), KBM(Kandil-Brown-Miller), FS(Fatemi-Socie), and LKN(Lee-Kim-Nam) approach are employed to predict the fatigue life. The maximum shear strain plane, the maximum normal strain plane, and the maximum damage plane are considered as the critical plane, respectively. The effects of the choice of the critical plane on previous approaches are discussed. It is shown that comparing with the maximum shear/normal strain approach, the predictions are improved by using the maximum damage plane approach, part nonproportional paths for SWT, AV and part nonproportional paths for KBM, TV paths for FS. But for LKN, the prediction results are nonconservative for some paths than that of the maximum shear/normal strain approach.

Failure Life

This paper studies multiaxial low cycle fatigue crack mode and failure life of Ti-6Al-4V. Stress controlled fatigue tests were carried out using a hollow cylinder specimen under multiaxial loadings of ?=0, 0.4, 0.5 and 1 of which stress ratio R=0 at room temperature. ? is a principal stress ratio and is defined as ?=sigmaII/sigmaI, where sigmaI and sigmaII are principal stresses of which absolute values take the largest and middle ones, respectively. Here, the test at ?=0 is a uniaxial loading test and that at ?=1 an equi-biaxial loading test. A testing machine employed is a newly developed multiaxial fatigue testing machine which can apply push-pull and reversed torsion loadings with inner pressure onto the hollow cylinder specimen. Based on the obtained results, this study discusses evaluation of the biaxial low cycle fatigue life and crack mode. Failure life is reduced with increasing ? induced by cyclic ratcheting. The crack mode is affected by the surface condition of cut-machining and the failure life depends on the crack mode in the multiaxial loading largely.

The high temperature creep and fatigue properties of two  -TiAl base intermetallic alloys, for gas turbine components, have been investigated within the Integrated European project IMPRESS. The alloys contain 8% at. of Ta or Nb, respectively. The microstructure of both alloys was cross convoluted lamellar rather than the well known conventional lamellar, typical of the usual -TiAl. The microstructure of the Ta containing alloy was homogeneous in all the analyzed batches whilst that of the Nb alloy appeared significantly spread out from specimen to specimen. The creep properties of the alloys were investigated in the temperature range 700-850°C with applied stresses in order to have times to rupture up to about 3,000 h. The creep behaviour presented no steady state regimes, but only minima of the creep rates between significant decelerating and accelerating regimes. The minimum creep rates of the Ta alloy resulted to be significantly slower than the Niobium alloy at the same creep conditions. In low cycle fatigue at 650 and 700°C the Ta  -TiAl showed longer lives than the Nb alloy, whilst the fatigue crack propagation rate in the same temperature range did not show any significant difference. Threshold values of stress intensity factor range were accurately measured at different R ratio. The microstructures of the two alloys were analysed by scanning microscopy in order to rationalise the different mechanical behaviour.
