Similar behaviour is expected when assessing non-sharp defects (e.g., pits, gouges, dents).
This Part II paper validates a new engineering methodology for assessing non-sharp defects in ferritic steel structures.
This Part I paper describes a new engineering assessment methodology for ferritic steel structures containing non-sharp defects within the context of a Failure Assessment Diagram (FAD) approach.
Although the modification of the FAD for non-sharp defects can be applied whether the initiating failure mechanism is cleavage or ductile tearing, this paper focuses on cleavage fracture.
We developed a model for the electrical field within the polymer material contaminated with a sharp conducting defect (a metallic needle) and defined a parameter characterizing the resistance of polymer to electrical treeing.
A year after becoming president, Mr. Watanabe apologized on behalf of Toyota for a sharp rise in defects on its vehicles, both in Japan and the United States.
The atomic positions appear extremely sharp, and no defects are visible other than the vacuum at the edge of the wedge sample.
A population with no immunity to Rubella would see a sharp increase in congenital defects if an epidemic occurred of this otherwise innocuous virus.
From the HRTEM image, it can be seen that the interfaces between zinc-blende and wurtzite domains were sharp with very few defects.
Then virgin Cu foil was annealed at 1080 °C in hydrogen and argon gas to further eliminate the sharp wrinkles, steps, and defects [28].
