damage analysis: cast iron properties
(OP)
Hi guys
I have instrumented a tractor with strain gauges for measuring the loads of whole vehicle. The vehicle driveline is made up of cast iron. Whereas I have to analyse the structural damage of vehicle driveline to find the worst condition, do you know the cast iron sn curve slope? In literature I have found different values, but I haven't understood what is the right value I have to use to perform this analysis. Thank you

I'd drill a small shallow test hole in a few of the components. If chips are dust, then I'd say there is essentially no ductility. If real chips, even short ones are formed, then the material has some ductility, and values for one of the ductile or SG irons might be close.

Did you happen to work on the hitch pump hydraulics of a 1586?
I discovered a problem with them.
