National Aeronautics and Space Administration Germanium • Good electromagnetic transmission in 2-15 μ m range. Specialty window material: www.nasa.gov 2

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Germanium • Brittle transition metal. • Relatively soft. • Behaves like a soft, brittle ceramic. • Stress corrosion cracking? • What is the fracture toughness? www.nasa.gov 3

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Material • Single crystal beams • Coarse gained disks (2” & 5” Φ ): 25 mm • Variable grain structure – not ideal for testing. www.nasa.gov 4

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Anisotropy • Anisotropy factor A* measures relative magnitude of elastic anisotropy exhibited by a crystal. A * = 0 for isotropic materials, A * = 0 to 1 for many single crystals. 1.08 1.10 Tetragonal and Trigonal Materials, {010} Approximate Stress/Series Stress Approximate Stress/Series Stress Cubic materials, {100} In NiAl 1.06 1.08 (Plate Center) (Plate Center) BaTiO 3 1.04  -SiC 1.06 1.02 1.04 GaP Quartz Sn Ge Si TiO 2 MgO 1.00 1.02 Diamond Sapphire 0.98 1.00 0 5 10 15 20 25 0 2 4 6 8 10 12 14 16 18 Anisotropy Factor A* * + A s * ) Total Anisotropy Factor ( A c • Relatively low.

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Strength Testing • Constant Stress Rate Tests (5 MPa/s) • Biaxial Flexure ring-on-ring (ROR) • ~400 grit as-ground surfaces in distilled, deionized water • ~Polished surface in lab air ASTM C1499 www.nasa.gov 13

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Fracture Strength & Weibull Statistics  θ m #/S • Polished m = 6; ground m = 9; spurious damage m = 4. • Scale effect evident: 168 vs 215 MPa. • Strength of 235 MPa is predicted vs 215 MPa (10%). www.nasa.gov 14

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Biaxial Fracture Patterns (polished) • Repetitive pattern that makes fractography difficult: www.nasa.gov 15

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Fracture Path - ground disk - #14-3, 36.1 MPa (#15-2) Grinding Lay Grain Boundary 8 mm Grinding Crack Grinding Crack Grinding Grain Lay Boundary 25 mm • Crack initiated at a grinding scratch. • Transited to a low index planes. • Deflected at a grain boundary. www.nasa.gov 16

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Fracture Path in a Polished ROR Disk • Crack initiated from a semi-elliptical crack emanating from a scratch. • Turned onto the {111} plane: 9 o from {110} • Opportunity to estimate the fracture toughness! • K I {hkl} = 0.73 MPa √ m. • Why did the crack turn? www.nasa.gov 17

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Preferred Fracture Plane • The fracture toughness on low index planes is similar, so why is the {111} the preferred propagation plane? • The {111} is the stiffest direction, and stiff directions exhibit high stresses under strain controlled situations…… Isotropic <100> Tangential Stress, r/R s = 0.2 Radial Stress, r/R s = 0.2 Tangential Stress, r/R s = 0.8 100 Radial Stress, r/R s = 0.8 90 80 <111> 70 Stress, MPa 60 50 40 30 {110} 20 10 <110> 0 0 10 20 30 40 50 60 70 80 90 100 Stress, MPa Stress concentration where the load ring But, for a pressurized plate, the stress intersection the stiff direction. concentrations are not exhibited. www.nasa.gov 18

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Fracture Toughness – semi-elliptical cracks on high index planes - • For polished specimens, K I = 0.77 ± 0.04 MPa √ m (0.73-0.83). • For grinding cracks, K I = 0.87 ± 0.04 MPa √ m (0.80 – 0.90). • Higher due to random orientation and transition to {111}. • Caveat: local stress not precisely know….. www.nasa.gov 19

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Slow Crack Growth - Experimental Approach - • Constant Stress Rate Testing “dynamic fatigue” - ASTM C1368 • Strength based approach with advantages & disadvantages: - rapid test; simple geometry - samples the inherent, small flaws - statistical scatter (many specimens needed) - averaging of fatigue regions www.nasa.gov 20

National Aeronautics and Space Administration Experimental Procedure • Constant Stress Rate Tests (5 to 5 x 10 -4 MPa/s) • Biaxial Flexure (Ring-on-ring) • Distilled, deionized water • ~400 grit as-ground surfaces • ~10 tests per stress rate • ~40 tests www.nasa.gov 21
