There is a method of making a tubular specimen (314) with a predetermined wrinkle defect including providing (301) a layup tool (302) with a cavity forming member (302m) having a cavity (302c) which resembles a desired shape of the at least one wrinkle; orienting (303) a composite material around the mandrel at a wrap angle to form a closed loop; positioning (305) a wrinkle tool (306) on the closed loop; and/or generating at least one wrinkle with a predetermined characteristic in a portion of the closed loop to form a tubular specimen (314). The predetermined characteristic is at least one of the following: wrinkle location, an outward wrinkle, an inward wrinkle, a wrinkle width, a wrinkle height, and a wrinkle length. In another aspect, there is a method of offset load testing a tubular composite specimen (334). In a third aspect, there is a method (400) of determining allowable defects for a composite component.

In a first aspect, there is a method (300) of making a specimen with a predetermined wrinkle defect, the steps including orienting (303) a composite material around a layup tool (302) at a wrap angle to form a closed loop; and generating (309) at least one wrinkle with a predetermined characteristic in a portion of the closed loop to form a specimen. The predetermined characteristic is at least one of the following: wrinkle location, an outward wrinkle, an inward wrinkle, a wrinkle width, a wrinkle height, and a wrinkle length. In another aspect, there is a method (400) of determining allowable defects for a composite component.

A high frequency method for determining the non-propagation threshold of fatigue cracks in which a cyclic load (32, 32A) is applied to at least one test piece comprising, in a test area (10A), an elliptical hole (12) having a notch (14) at one apex, and held between two rigid masses (24, 26), two rigid prestressing plates (20, 22) being disposed on either side of said test piece and being secured at each of the two ends (20A, 22A; 20B, 22B) of same to the two rigid masses, the frequency of the cyclic load (32, 32A) being chosen as equal to the natural frequency of the test piece/masses/prestressing plates assembly so as to generate a fatigue crack from the notch; then, when it is observed that the crack has stopped propagating, the final length of the crack is recorded, and said non-propagation threshold ΔK th of the fatigue crack is determined using a table, the cyclic load being obtained by a vibrating electrodynamic pot integrally attached by means of rigid posts to a frame supporting the two rigid masses and comprising a push rod to transmit said cyclic load to the test piece/masses/prestressing plates assembly.

The invention relates to a method for measuring the tenacity K c of a material, comprising the following steps: placing a sample of said material, having the shape of a parallelepiped rectangle through the middle of which a central hole extends, between two jaws of a clamping device, each of said jaws engaging with a distant end of the sample; moving the two jaws together so as to exert a force at each of said ends until the sample has completely broken; measuring the variations during the clamping on the basis of the time of the clamping force exerted at each end of the sample; determining the maximum value F 0 of said clamping force; marking three separate areas on the surface of one of the breaking surfaces, i.e. a first area close to the hole having a first type of embossment, a second area having a second type of embossment, and a third area having a third type of embossment that is less pronounced than the second type; measuring the distance L 0 between the edge of the hole and a transition line separating the second area from the third area; and calculating the parameter K c on the basis of the force F 0 and distance L 0 .
摘要:
A method of fatigue testing a component comprising the steps of machining a channel of predetermined depth and predetermined width in a surface of a component, applying a salt solution into the channel in the surface of the component and heating the component to a suitable temperature to evaporate the solvent from the salt solution to deposit the salt in the channel in the surface of the component, placing the component in an atmosphere containing air and sulphur dioxide at a predetermined temperature for a predetermined period of time to precondition the grain boundaries, and fatigue testing the component. The method is useful for determining the fatigue life of gas turbine engine discs or gas turbine engine rotor blades particularly the firtree shaped disc posts or the firtree shaped rotor blade roots.

A sample testing system includes a plurality of sample tubes, each sample tube coupled to a pumping chamber, a pressure control subsystem and a flow control subsystem. The pressure control system includes a first dynamic pump equipped to induce pulsatile pressure in a mass of pumping fluid coupled to the pumping chambers. The flow control subsystem includes a mean flow pump equipped to generate a flow of sample fluid in a plurality of flow loops. Each of the flow loops conducts the flow of sample fluid between the mean flow pump and one of the sample tubes. The pumping chamber couples pressure from the pumping fluid to the sample fluid.
