Mechanical Failure Modes

  • Fracture
  • Fatigue
  • Creep

Ductile vs. Brittle Fracture

Ductile fracture is desirable!

Ductile: warning before fracture Brittle: No warning

%RA or %EL: Large Moderate Small Fracture behavior: Very Ductile Modulate Ductile Brittle

Example: Failure of a pipe

  • Ductile failure:
  • -one piece
  • -large deformation
  • Brittle failure:
  • -many pieces
  • -small deformation

Design Strategy: Stay Above The DBTT!

  • Pre-WWII: The Titanic
  • WWII: Liberty ships
  • Problem: Used a type of steel with a DBTT ~ Room temp.

Fatigue

  • Fatigue = failure under cyclic stress.

tension on bottom compression on top counter

motor

flex coupling bearing bearing specimen

  • Stress varies with time.
  • -key parameters are S and σm

σmax σmin

σ

time σm S

  • Key points: Fatigue...
  • -can cause part failure, even though σmax < σc.
  • -causes ~ 90% of mechanical engineering failures.

Fatigue Design Parameter

  • Fatigue limit, Sfat:
  • -no fatigue if S < Sfat
  • Sometimes, the

fatigue limit is zero!

Sfat case for steel (typ.) N = Cycles to failure 103 105 107 109 unsafe safe S = stress amplitude

case for Al (typ.) N = Cycles to failure 103 105 107 109 unsafe safe S = stress amplitude

Improving Fatigue Life

  • 1. Impose a compressive

surface stress

(to suppress surface cracks from growing)

  • -Method 1: shot peening
  • 2. Remove stress

concentrators.

bad bad better better

  • -Method 2: carburizing

C-rich gas put surface into compression shot

N = Cycles to failure moderate tensile σm larger tensile σm S = stress amplitude near zero or compressive σm
