Using Fractography to Investigate Causes of Material Failure in Sulfone Polymers
ثبت نشده
چکیده
The SEM is especially useful when combined with Energy Dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX), which can be performed in the microscope, enabling very small areas of the sample to be analyzed for their elemental composition. One disadvantage of the SEM approach is related to its high resolution. Only a very small area can be analyzed and the fracture pattern can rapidly become very complex to interpret.

Life Estimate of a Compressor Blade through Fractography
Failure analysis of fractured components provides some information about the causes and conditions of fracture. Fractography is an indispensable part of the failure analysis as it is usually the only means by which the failure mechanism can be established. By using fractography, some information such as component’s life, values of the stress intensity factor and the applied stress can be calcul...
متن کاملFractography of Polymer Composites: Current Status and Future Issues
With the increasing prevalence of polymer composites in engineering applications, invariably mechanical failures of these components are occurring. Key to addressing this is fractographic analysis; the examination of fracture surfaces to deduce information about the damage and failure of components. The fractography of isotropic materials, particularly metals, has been used as a tool for many y...
