The ability to<br />break down of a specimen can be substantially affected by its shape and design.<br />Due to the smaller size of any faults any imperfections that might have been visible within the substance<br />itself, the ability to break down of the specimen typically rises as the sample&#39;s dimensions decreases.<br />The reason for this is so that the component becomes better susceptible to hole proliferation since<br />lesser imperfections make lower of an impact on the metal&#39;s total resilience.<br />Nevertheless, the piece&#39;s structure additionally impacts its breaking tenacity. For instance, even though<br />there are both samples are of similar number, one which has an abrupt hole or cleft might exhibit<br />poorer crack toughness than another without more gradual change from the previously unbroken to the<br />destroyed region.<br />The strength of the fracture may be further impacted by the specimen&#39;s location in relation to the axis of<br />forcing. Depends on how the fracture is oriented with relation relative to the material&#39;s axial axes, the<br />breaking strength of material that is anisotropic can change.<br />A specimen&#39;s resilience to fractures will be strongly affected by its measurement and design. Larger<br />portions usually exhibit better fracture resilience, yet the piece&#39;s design and alignment can also have an<br />impact. Thus, the when assessing the durability of fractures, it is crucial to pay close attention to the<br />shape and dimension of the sample to be able for precise and valuable results.</p>2023-05-22T11:45:02+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanicshttps://mechanical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJFM&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1550Evaluation of Tool Life in Casting Machining- A Review2023-05-22T11:45:19+00:00R.N. Mehtarahulmehta6440@gmail.comG.D. Acharyarahulmehta6440@gmail.com<p>Machining is a manufacturing process that involves removing materials using cutting tools<br />for getting rid of the unwanted materials from some workpiece and converting it into the<br />shape you desire. A large piece of stock is used for cutting the workpiece. The large stock<br />might be in any shape such as solid bar, flat sheet, beam or even hollow tubes. The process<br />can also be performed on some existing part like forging or casting. The manufacturing<br />process broadly classify as machining, casting, joining, mechanical working and forging. The<br />machining process is very common and very widely used in any manufacturing industries.<br />The major concern about the machining process is to identify appropriate tool material for<br />specific workpiece materials. This requirement is very typical when we want to select tool<br />material for machining of casting. The major concern in machining is surface finish and tool<br />wear during machining process. This review paper covers the effect of machining parameter<br />on tool life. To establish relationship between tool life and tool wear. So this review paper<br />deals with different types of tool wear in terms of tool life.</p>2023-05-22T11:35:01+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanicshttps://mechanical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJFM&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1549Measuring the effect of temperatures on the ductile brittle transition2023-05-22T11:45:19+00:00Makhtar Alreahemakhtar315@gmail.comSaad Kalfallamakhtar315@gmail.com<p>In this study is spotlighted on the ductile-brittle transition behavior of carbon steels when the<br />effect over wide range of different temperture and strain rates it. and knowlege the mechanical<br />properties of the steel.By breaking a notched bars, the ductile brittle transition temperature<br />(DBTT) is measured, it was prepared these samples by the ratio the radius of the notched and the<br />minimum diameter size. the ratios of carbon steels was (0.1, 0.4 and 0.8). Tests are done by a<br />pendulum-type impact tester for measuring the energy absorbed in the fracture over wide a range<br />of temperture. Also it presented an discussed the effect of the temperature rise and low on<br />ductile-brittle transition curve. From here, it leads to the conclusion that with the temperture low<br />to less than zero degree, it is the yield strength of a ferritic steel increases rapidly. And in a fairly<br />narrow range of temperture which locates TB, where the fracture mode becomes brittle and the<br />toughness descreases. This leads that to the ductile brittle transition temperature is important,<br />because the steel is a much greater tendency to shatter when it is cooled less than DBTT instead<br />of deforming or bending.</p>2023-05-22T11:19:40+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanicshttps://mechanical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJFM&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1548FABRICATION OF INDIGENOUS PYROLYSIS SETUP AND ANALYSIS OF FUEL FROM THE PLASTIC WASTE2023-05-22T11:45:19+00:00Bobby Johnbobby.me@stisttvm.edu.inDanie S. Danielbobby.me@stisttvm.edu.inKarthik B.bobby.me@stisttvm.edu.inRahul S.bobby.me@stisttvm.edu.inVaisakh V.bobby.me@stisttvm.edu.in<p>The purpose of this study is to design and create a local pyrolysis setup and evaluate the fuel obtained from plastic waste. The main objective is to tackle the worldwide overproduction of synthetic plastic, avoiding its accumulation in landfills and depletion of resources. The conversion of plastic waste into energy has been widely explored, but this research focuses specifically on using pyrolysis to transform plastic into liquid oil. This approach reduces the volume of waste and generates a liquid oil with a high calorific value compared to fossil fuels. Plastic, invented by Alexander Parkes in 1860, has become an essential part of modern life due to its light weight, durability, and design flexibility. However, the increasing demand for plastic poses a significant threat to the environment. This study proposes an environmentally friendly method of recycling plastic waste through pyrolysis. Pyrolysis is a process that takes place in the absence of oxygen and at high temperatures around 250°C, for which a reactor is designed to maintain the appropriate temperature. The waste plastic is subjected to depolymerization, pyrolysis, catalytic cracking, and fractional distillation to obtain various value-added fuels such as petrol, kerosene, and diesel.Our Project deals with the extraction of oil from the waste plastics termed as plastic pyrolysed oil which can be marketed at much cheaper rates compared to that present in the market. As we know that both Plastics and Petroleum derived fuels are Hydrocarbons that contain the elements of Carbon & Hydrogen.</p><p> </p>2023-05-22T10:58:46+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanicshttps://mechanical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJFM&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1543A Study on Factors Affecting the Tensile Welding Strength of a Joint using Full Factorial Design2023-05-22T11:45:19+00:00Deepesh Aryadarya9788@gmail.comShaheen Beg Mughaldarya9788@gmail.comDharmesh Barodiyadarya9788@gmail.com<p><em>Through the act of heating and fusing two distinct metals together at a high temperature, two different metals may be bonded together. However, it happens frequently that the strength of the welded junction is ignored. The tensile strength of a welded junction may or may not change depending on a number of circumstances. This study carefully examines the many variables that have an impact on the welded joint and, in the end, comes to a conclusion regarding the variable that has the most impact on the tensile weld strength of a joint. Design of Experiments (DOE) is first carried out using Full Factorial Method. Here, four variables are applied at two different levels that will ultimately determine how strong a joint's tensile weld is. The voltage, kind of joint, number of weld passes, and wire feed speed were taken into consideration. These variables serve as the basis for the investigations, and the Universal Testing Machine is used to determine the outcomes (UTM). Additionally, with the use of MINITAB 18, the results of these tests are further confirmed using ANOVA. Based on the findings, we identified a factor that has the greatest impact on the tensile strength of a welded junction.</em></p>2023-05-17T11:03:31+00:00Copyright (c) 2023 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanicshttps://mechanical.journalspub.info/index.php?journal=IJFM&page=article&op=view&path%5B%5D=1465Review on Concepts of Fracture Control and Damage Tolerance Analysis in advanced composite materials2022-10-10T04:33:40+00:00Shubhaseesh Srivastavamechshubh0504@gmail.com<p> For equipment, systems, and devices with moving structures, fracture is a frequent failure mode. Mechanical overload, mechanical shock, fatigue, or stress corrosion may be the underlying cause of mechanical fracture. Atomic or molecular bond separation leads to mechanical fracture of a material. A concentrated effort to ensure operational safety without a catastrophic fracture failure is known as fracture control. Understanding how cracks affect a structure's strength and integrity as well as how long a fracture can continue to expand before it becomes too large is necessary. The degree to which a component is vital, the financial impact of having the structures out of service, and the potential damage from a fracture failure all factor into the systematic process of fracture control. This article examines the ideas of damage tolerance analysis and outlines the fundamentals of fracture control. It also offers helpful advice on how to apply damage tolerance analysis to get pertinent and fair results. Information on fatigue design and fracture mechanics is provided in the article's conclusion.</p>2022-10-10T04:33:22+00:00Copyright (c) 2022 International Journal of Fracture and Damage Mechanics
