Code: 9D15104 M. Tech I Semester Regular & Supplementary Examinations, April/May 2013 FRACTURE, FATIGUE & CREEP DEFORMATION (Machine Design) Time: 3 hours Answer any FIVE questions All questions carry equal marks ***** 1 (a) (b) Draw stress-strain curve for constant strain cycling and explain it fully. A cylindrical 1045 steel bar is subjected to repeated compression-tension stress cycling along its axis. If the load applied is 22,000 N, compute the minimum allowable bar diameter to ensure that fatigue failure will not occur. Assume a factor of safety 2.0 (Assume any missing data). What is notch sensitivity? Explain why gray cast iron is not notch insensitive. Explain any one of the methods to assess the notch sensitivity of metals. Max. Marks: 60

2 (a) (b) 3 (a) (b)

Explain why fatigue strength is a statistical quantity. Based on dislocation theory, explain how dislocations are multiplied and strain hardening occurs. What is linear cumulative damage rule? What is the other name for this rule? Explain it fully. What is the name of the theory which is used to explain cumulative fatigue damage? Explain the theory fully. Explain the effect of metallurgical variables on fatigue properties. Explain the different stages of fatigue crack initiation and propagation. Explain about the Griffiths crack theory of fracture. Derive an expression for the theoretical brittle fracture strength. What is meant by fracture toughness? Discuss in detail the significance and test methods for fracture toughness. A solid shaft produced from the tool steel must be 2.44 m long and must survive continuous operation for one year with an applied load of 0.05 MN. The shaft makes one revolution per minute during operation. Design a shaft that will satisfy these requirements. Draw the curve, crack growth rate versus stress intensity factor range for high strength steel and explain the various salient features of the curve. *****
