摘要:
An object of the invention is to provide a simple method and apparatus for evaluating a collapse load of a structure with respect to ductile fracture in the case where a plurality of flaws exist in a cylindrical structure that receives a bending load. The invention is an evaluation method and apparatus in which a result obtained by calculating a collapse load while a flaw having the largest area among a plurality of flaws is considered as a single flaw and a result obtained by replacing a plurality of flaws with penetration flaws corresponding to the plurality of flaws and calculating a collapse load are compared with each other and the smallest collapse load is set to be a collapse load of a structure.

A coating bond test method includes, attaching with an adhesive a pull-off bar to a coating on a planar surface of a substrate for which a normal bond strength between the coating and the substrate is sought, reducing a first area defined by an interface between the substrate and the coating to a value less than a second area defined by an interface between the adhesive and the coating, urging the pull-off bar away from the substrate in a direction normal to the planar surface until failure occurs, and recording a load at which failure occurred.

A testing device for testing the mechanical integrity of a hollow breakable item includes a squeezable element to radially abut with a sidewall portion of the breakable item. The testing device further includes a sleeve extending in an axial direction to receive the sidewall portion of the breakable item and having a first contact surface to axially engage with the squeezable element. The testing device also includes a plunger displaceable in axial direction relative to the sleeve and having a second contact surface to axially engage with the squeezable element. The squeezable element is axially squeezable by a relative displacement of plunger and sleeve to increase the squeezable element's radial expansion and to apply radially directed pressure to the breakable item's sidewall portion.

A cartridge suitable for use in a bond testing machine, the cartridge comprising: a plurality of a different test tool assemblies; a Geneva mechanism, each of the plurality of different test tool assemblies mounted to the Geneva mechanism and angularly spaced from one another; and a drive unit, coupled to the Geneva mechanism, the drive unit configured to rotate the Geneva mechanism to move each of the plurality of different test tool assemblies to and from a use position. The cartridge preferably includes an improved Geneva mechanism that locks the test tools in their desired rotational positions. The cartridge also preferably includes a mounting plate for the test tools that has identical test tool connection areas so that any test tool can be connected to any tool connection area. Providing a plurality of test tools that can be selectively moved to a use position within a single cartridge allows an operator to change tools without having to demount and remount different test tool cartridges when a different test tool is required. This improves the ease of operation and saves the operator time. Novel methods for use of the cartridge are also described.

The invention relates to a rotary bend testing device for plate-like substrates (1) made of ceramic or glass-ceramic materials, wherein the substrates (1) to be tested are subjected to bending. In order that uniform checking both of the top side and of the underside of the substrate (1) takes place in the rotary bend testing device, without the substrate (1) having to be turned over, it is proposed that a first roller arrangement (3) consisting of at least three support rollers (3a, 3b, 3c) arranged on shafts is arranged on a mounting platform (8), all the support rollers (3a, 3b, 3c) running on the same first plane on a first circular track, that a second roller arrangement (2) consisting of at least three pressure rollers (2a, 2b, 2c) arranged on shafts is arranged above or beneath the first roller arrangement (3), wherein all the pressure rollers (2a, 2b, 2c) run on the same second plane on a second circular track, that the centre (10) of the first and the second track is arranged on a centre straight line perpendicular to the two planes and the support rollers (3a, 3b, 3c) are arranged in an offset manner with respect to the pressure rollers (2a, 2b, 2c), i.e. one roller of one roller arrangement is arranged between in each case two rollers of the other roller arrangement, all the rollers from one of the two roller arrangements are driven at the same speed via a drive apparatus and the second roller arrangement (2) is displaceable on the centre straight line.

A cloth evaluation apparatus can grasp the piercing property and the cutting property with a cloth in advance. The cloth evaluation apparatus (1) comprising: a measuring member (21, 71, 81) having, on its distal side, a measuring part (22) to pass through a cloth (c, d); a cloth/measuring part moving means (30, 40) for moving the cloth (c, d) or the measuring member (21, 71) so that the measuring part (22) passes through the cloth (c, d); a cloth supporting means (23, 23', 31') for supporting the cloth (c, d) at around a passing-through point, in the cloth (c, d), of the measuring part (22) from both sides of the cloth (c, d) when the measuring part (22) passes through the cloth (c, d); and a load detecting means (25) for detecting a load being applied to the measuring member (21, 71) while the measuring part (22) passes through the cloth (c, d). The measuring part (22) includes a piercing force measuring portion (22A, 72A) whose outer diameter gradually decreases toward its acute tip (22A') and, after the tip (22A') sticks the cloth (c, d), the piercing force measuring portion (22A, 72A) can pass through the cloth (c, d) while expanding a grain of the cloth (c, d). The measuring part (22) also includes a cutting force measuring portion (22B, 72B) adjacent proximally to the piercing force measuring portion (22A, 72A), the cutting force measuring portion (22B, 72B) having a shear face (22Bb) which can push a part of the cloth (c, d) in the passing direction to separate the part from the cloth (c, d) as the measuring part (22) passes through the cloth (c, d).

Process for analysing a fracture or crack surface (10) of a TiAl turbomachine part, comprising at least one of the steps consisting in: a) marking on the surface the position and the orientation of cleavage facets, so as to identify a region of fracture or crack initiation and to determine the direction of propagation of this fracture or crack, b) examining the surface and detecting the regions with the presence of equiaxed grains and/or lamellar grains, so as to evaluate the temperature at which the fracture or crack has taken place, and c) comparing the heat tintings of the surface with those of samples from a heat tinting colour chart so as to evaluate the speed of propagation of the fracture or crack.

The cartridge also preferably includes a mounting plate for the test tools that has identical test tool connection areas so that any test tool can be connected to any tool connection area. Providing a plurality of test tools that can be selectively moved to a use position within a single cartridge allows an operator to change tools without having to demount and remount different test tool cartridges when a different test tool is required.
