DT References
(OP)
Hello,
I am looking for a couple of references on Damage Tolerance.
1. Damage Tolerant Design Handbook - Skinn, D. A. ; Gallagher, Joseph P. ; Berens, Alan P. ; Huber, P. D. ; Smith, J.
The link to pdf http://oai.dtic.mil/oai/oai?verb=getRecord&metadataPrefix=html&identifier=ADA311686 isn't working.
Any recommendations on alternate DT handbook which contains compilation of Fracture Toughness data?
2. I am also looking for a source which has compilation of various SIF i.e. a SIF Handbook. I know the most popular one is by Rooke & Cartwright as well as one from Murakami but I don't think I will be having access to it in the near future.
I would appreciate any help from the experienced folks here.
Thanks in advance,
-B

RE: DT References
if you have NASGRO or AFGRO I think their manuals include SIF equations ... AFGRO should be open source.
you might try to find "AFRL-VA-WP-TR-2004-3112" or "AFRL-VA-WP-TR-2003-3002" ... the latter is the USAF DT handbook, should be open course.
try the MIT opencourseware site.
there's a good book available in the UK ... sigmak.com I think.
another day in paradise, or is paradise one day closer ?
RE: DT References
Go to http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/ enter search terms: Damage tolerant design handbook and a treasure trove of related documents will be returned.
BTW: IF documents won't down load, then contact DTIC and a representative will usually help resolve the problem.

RE: DT References
Thanks for the links. As it turned out for some reason I was unable to access http://www.dtic.mil/dtic/ at all. I had to use Tor to download the DTDH Handbook. Need to speak with my ISP.
rb1957,
I do not have access to a hardcopy of Rook & Cartwright. However, I do have access to the SigmaK book. That book does contain a chapter dedicated to SIF. However the author still refers to Rook & Cartwright for many advanced SIF solutions.
Also, I have a copy of AFGROW's DT Hand book and one chapter contains SIF solutions for most common cases. For most cases, I assume that SigmaK along with AFGROW would suffice.
I would still love to have a copy of a Handbook of SIF solutions. So if any one comes across a source, please let me know.

RE: DT References
Please try the DTIC links one more time & reply how it went.
Curious to see if You are still having issues with accessing DTIC reports!! NOTE These are fairly large files, so they can take a long time to download.

RE: DT References
I am still having issues with accessing DTIC website.
However, I did check the above on a machine connected via a different ISP and DTIC website was accessible. So, it seems like it is an issue with my ISP. I will speak with them soon and try to get it resolved.
