Unit IV
FAILURE ANALYSIS OF CREEP RUPTURE 9
Fracture at elevated temperature: Time dependent mechanical behavior, stress rupture, Microstructural changes during creep, Mechanism of creep deformation and Creep deformation maps, Prediction of time to rupture, Creep-fatigue interaction. Some case studies in analysis of creep failures.
Unit V
FAILURE ANALYSIS OF CORROSION AND WEAR 9
Types of corrosion, Corrosion stress, corrosion cracking, Analysis of corrosion failure. Procedure for analysis of stress corrosion cracking. Effect of Environment. Analysis of corrosion characteristics of metals and alloys in different environment. Types of wear, Role of friction, Interaction of corrosion and wear. Analysis of wear failure.
Course Outcomes:
Upon Completion of the course, the students will be able to
- Design structure to prevent failure from the internal defect that unit within the structure
- Derive the stress field solutions for fracture problems
- Design structure to prevent fatigue and creep
- Define different deformation and related theories
- Analyse the corrosion and wear failure and system methods to prevent corrosion and wear
