ABSTRACTThe experimental results of fracture toughness testing of a Macro Defect (MDF) Free cement are presented. The material, a hydraulic cement with hydrolyzed polyvinyl polymers, behaves much like a hardened ceramic with measured maximum compressive and tensile strengths of 380 MN/m2 and 69 MN/m2 respectively. Fracture toughness tests were performed on compact tension (CT) and single edge notched beam (SENB) specimens cut from test panels which were supplied in 3mm, 5mm and 10mm thicknesses. The results were evaluated with respect to the fracture toughness parameter Kic using a modification of standard test methods as determined by observed natural behavior. The MDF material exhibited an essentially linear elastic behavior with a fracture toughness slightly higher than typical values recorded for hardened cement paste.

Toughness Testing

This report details the development of a three-stage fracture toughness testing procedure used to study the effect of tempering temperature on toughness in 01 tool steel. Modified compact tension specimens were used in which the fatigue precracking stage in the ASTM E-399 Procedure was replaced by stable precracking, followed by a slow crack growth. The specimen geometry has been designed to provide a region where slow crack growth can be achieved in brittle materials. Three parameters, load, crack opening displacement, and time have been monitored during the testing procedure and a combination of heat tinting and a compliance equation have been used to identify the position of the crack front. Significant KIC results have been obtained using a modified ASTM fracture toughness equation. An inverse relationship between KIC and hardness has been measured.

Selective laser melting (SLM) is a relatively new manufacturing technique which offers many benefits. However the utilisation of SLM manufactured components depends on the assurance of their integrity during operation. Fracture toughness testing (JIC) has been performed on as-built compact tension fracture mechanics samples manufactured in three orthogonal directions. When the crack growth plane was transverse to the interface of the build layers, the fracture toughness values were found to be similar to those manufactured using conventional techniques. However, the fracture toughness is significantly reduced when the crack plane is parallel to the interface of the build layers. Simple heat treatments have been performed on Charpy fracture samples and the resulting impact energy values indicate that the fracture toughness of a component may be improved by heat treatment.

Telah dilakukan analisis sifat fisis sinter silika dan tipe fluida pada mata air panas Sapan Maluluang Kecamatan Alam Pauh Duo, Solok Selatan. Sifat fisis yang diteliti dalam penelitian ini yaitu densitas dengan menggunakan hukum Archimedes, porositas dengan menggunakan standar ASTM D7263-09 (Standard Test Methods for Laboratory Determination of Density of Soil Specimens), dan resistivitas dengan metode Probe Dua Elektroda. Nilai densitas, porositas dan resistivitas sinter silika pada temperatur 31oC dalam pengukuran ini adalah 1,206 g/cm3, 15,8 %, dan 7,195 Ωm. Pengaruh temperatur terhadap sifat fisis sinter silika juga dianalisis dalam penelitian ini. Berdasarkan pengukuran, peningkatan temperatur dari 175 oC hingga 300 oC mengakibatkan nilai densitas turun dari 1,112 g/cm3 menjadi 0,983 g/cm3, sedangkan nilai porositas sinter silika naik dari 33,3 % menjadi 53,3 %. Nilai resistivitas sinter silika juga mengalami peningkatan dari 23,035 Ωm menjadi 57,201 Ωm. Terdapat hubungan nilai faktor resistivitas dengan porositas yaitu bertambahnya pori-pori sinter silika mengakibatkan nilai faktor resistivitas mengecil. Hubungan nilai faktor resistivitas dan porositas sinter silika menghasilkan nilai sementasi dan tortuositas sinter silika. Meningkatnya temperatur sinter silika dari 175 oC hingga 300 oC menyebabkan nilai tortuositas meningkat dari 6,92 menjadi 48,89 dan sementasi mengecil dari 1,67 menjadi 1,08. Penentuan tipe fluida mata air panas, menggunakan kandungan sulfat, klorida dan bikarbonat yang terdapat pada air panas. Metode yang digunakan dalam pengujian kandungan sulfat yaitu Spektrofotometri, sedangkan kandungan klorida dan bikarbonat diuji dengan metode Argentometri cara Mohr dan metode titrasi asam basa. Berdasarkan pengolahan data menggunakan diagram trilinier, mata air panas Sapan Maluluang termasuk kedalam tipe air panas klorida karena kandungan klorida merupakan kandungan yang paling dominan yaitu mencapai 97,560 mg/L, sedangkan kandungan sulfat dan bikarbonat mencapai 21,333 mg/L dan 23,730 mg/L. Kata kunci : densitas, porositas, resistivitas, sinter silika, tipe air panas

AbstractDetermination of the mechanical properties of MEMS (microelectromechanical systems) materials is necessary for accurate device design and reliability prediction. This is most unambiguously performed using MEMS-fabricated test specimens and MEMS loading devices. We describe here a wafer-level technique for measuring the bend strength, fracture toughness, and tensile strength of MEMS materials. The bend strengths of surface-micromachined polysilicon, amorphous silicon, and polycrystalline 3C SiC are 5.1±1.0, 10.1±2.0, and 9.0±1.0 GPa, respectively. The fracture toughness of undoped and P-doped polysilicon is 1.2±0.2 MPa√m, and the tensile strength of polycrystalline 3C SiC is 3.2±1.2 GPa. These results include the first report of the mechanical strength of micromachined polycrystalline 3C SiC.
