Fugacity and BCF relate to each other in the following equation: = [6] where Z Fish is equal to the Fugacity capacity of a chemical in the fish, P Fish is equal to the density of the fish (mass/length 3), BCF is the partition coefficient between the fish and the water (length 3 /mass) and H is equal to the Henry's law constant (Length 2 /Time 2) [6]
Rainflow counting identifies the closed cycles in a stress-strain curve. The rainflow-counting algorithm is used in calculating the fatigue life of a component in order to convert a loading sequence of varying stress into a set of constant amplitude stress reversals with equivalent fatigue damage. The method successively extracts the smaller ...
Tris (pentafluorophenyl)borane, sometimes referred to as "BCF", is the chemical compound (C6F5)3B. It is a white, volatile solid. The molecule consists of three pentafluorophenyl groups attached in a "paddle-wheel" manner to a central boron atom; the BC3 core is planar. It has been described as the “ideal Lewis acid ” because of its high ...
Polar coordinates at the crack tip. In fracture mechanics, the stress intensity factor (K) is used to predict the stress state ("stress intensity") near the tip of a crack or notch caused by a remote load or residual stresses. [1] It is a theoretical construct usually applied to a homogeneous, linear elastic material and is useful for providing ...
Internal force lines are denser near the hole. In solid mechanics, a stress concentration (also called a stress raiser or a stress riser or notch sensitivity) is a location in an object where the stress is significantly greater than the surrounding region. Stress concentrations occur when there are irregularities in the geometry or material of ...
Fracture mechanics is the field of mechanics concerned with the study of the propagation of cracks in materials. It uses methods of analytical solid mechanics to calculate the driving force on a crack and those of experimental solid mechanics to characterize the material's resistance to fracture . Theoretically, the stress ahead of a sharp ...
A crack growth equation is used for calculating the size of a fatigue crack growing from cyclic loads. The growth of a fatigue crack can result in catastrophic failure, particularly in the case of aircraft. When many growing fatigue cracks interact with one another it is known as widespread fatigue damage. A crack growth equation can be used to ...
Fatigue (material) Fracture surface of an aluminium crank arm from a bicycle. The dark area (due to oil, dirt and fretting) is a slow growth fatigue crack and may contain striations. The bright area is caused by sudden fracture. Mechanical failure modes. Buckling.
