    MMPDS (Old HDBK 5) Joint Yield Load

    Joint yield load is defined as the load at 0.04D offset on the load deflection curve from a joint test. Does anyone know where the 0.04D assumption came from? Is there a rationale? Thanks

    Elastic Stress Concentration Factor(s) for UNC Threads

    It is my understanding that UNC external threads do not have a specific root radius. Without knowing the radius how would one estimate the elastic stress concentration factor? Any thoughts? Thanks

    Small Tension Test Specimens

    Has anyone ever taken a tensile test specimen (ASTM E8) from a broken fracture specimen (ASTM E1820). It appears that some of the small specimens could be taken from a broken half of a CT specimen. Is there any reason why you could not do such a thing. Any test houses in the US who have done...

    Jq from ASTM E1820, Relation to Assumed Elastic Modulus

    Jq from ASTM 1820, Relation to Elastic Modulus I have a set of fracture toughness test data from a vendor. The initial submittal used an inappropriate (too high) elastic modulus. The data was resubmitted after being evaluated using a lower modulus. Both Jq and Kjq decreased with the lower...

    ABAQUS General Beam Section - SENER

    SENER - Elastic strain energy density, per unit volume. The SENER results provided for a standard cross-section are very different from those for a general beam section using properties of the same cross-section. This is the answer that I received from ABAQUS. "The output in both cases is per...
