| Popis: | The aim of the current work is to test the possibility of improvement of fracture properties of a shaft fabricated by press fitting a rod inside a tube and explore the effect of interface on the crack propagation. Measurement of Mode II fracture toughness is considered for this purpose. In this study numerical method developed by Yong Li and Viola based on Kienzler and Herrmann’s method by conducting a simple shear test on round bar specimen is adopted. Round bar specimens with a circumferential notch are subjected to shear test. Three specimens are prepared using Al6061T6 alloy tube inserted with rod of three different materials A6061T6 alloy, commercial pure Copper, and AISI1045 steel. Also a plain rod of Al6061T6 alloy is tested under shear to compare the results. Shear tests are conducted on Universal Testing Machine and fracture toughness values are calculated using modified Kienzler and Herrmann’s equations. The results indicated an improvement of 18% in the fracture toughness values in the case of A6061T6 alloy rod inserted A6061T6 alloy tube compared to the fracture toughness of plain A6061T6 alloy rod. And when steel rod is inserted inside the A6061T6 alloy tube an improvement of 33.33% in the fracture toughness. |
