  1. Internal Stresses in Aluminum Engines Data DRSA Inreach

  2. Measuring Residual Stresses • Introduction of research project • Solidification of casting alloys • Stresses and strains • Crystal lattices • Diffraction • Neutrons • Experimental design • Data • Analysis of data

  3. FCC Aluminum Diffraction Pattern

  4. Experimental Geometry Transmitted Neutron Beam Sampling Volume Beam Aperture Engine Head Monochromator Scattered Neutrons Detectors

  5. Experimental Geometry

  6. Diffraction Peaks • Count scattered neutrons as a function of scattering angle for the Al (311) • For a neutron wavelength of 0.154906 nm the Al (311) peak is at 2θ of about 79 degrees • Plot counts against angle to map out the peak

  7. Peaks

  8. Reference Peak Positions • Goal is to measure strains and ultimately stresses • Strain is measured relative to unstressed sample • Therefore, repeat all measurements on unstressed samples • Made by cutting up the engine and re-measuring the samples removed from the engine • Removing the samples from engine relieves stresses

  9. Bragg’s Law has a Direction Incident Beam Scattered Beam

  10. Stress Components • Look at three directions around the valve ports

  11. Stress Components

  12. Stress Components

  13. Hook’s Law in 3-D • In 1-D, law was σ=Eε, where: • σ is stress, • E is Young’s Modulus and • ε is strain • More complicated in 3-D: • Where: • σR,A,H is the Radial, Axial or Hoop stress (pick one) • εR,A,H is the Radial, Axial or Hoop Strain (pick one) • ν is Poisson’s Ratio

  14. Al (311) Scattering Angle

  15. Data Analysis • From the peak angles, calculate the “d” spacings • From the “d” spacings, calculate the strains using: • Strain ε = (d-d0)/d0 , for Al (311) do = 0.122082 nm • From Young’s Modulus (E) and Poisson’s ratio (ν), calculate components of stress using: • Al E=68.9 GPa, ν=0.33 • For R,A,H pick one component each time and recalculate

  16. Next week: Analysis of Data

  17. Poisson’s Ratio Isotropic Material Strain in x-direction is εx = ΔL/L Strain in transverse (y and z) direction is εT = ΔL’/L Poisson’s Ratio is ν = - εT/εx
