I'd be careful using values from a published table. There's so many things that come into play with friction between those two metals (surface finish, normal pressure, other conditions) that any kind of 'general' table is, in my experience, usually way off. A good paper (pdf) on these...
g1a1,
be careful with using some of those 'published' values; as Demon3 indicated in his first response they may not all refer to the same thing. What's to stop you from actaully getting your seal tested? I know there's lots of great labs out there (e.g. Axel) that would be happy to do a creep...
I too could not agree more with GBor. I've worked with a wide range of material test data, some good, some bad. I was in the fortunate position of being able to use both material test data to build my model as well as component test data for model verification purposes. A good analyst /...
By the way, I know of a variety of means to do this on steel (milling, drilling, sawing, chemical milling, forging), but I mainly need to know whether it can be done on this particular alloy. Thanks!
Hi;
I have almost no experience with material finishes on metal. Our customer needs a finish of 125 microinches (or better) on Alloy 715. This is a 70-30 Copper-Nickel alloy. Does anyone know if that alloy can get that finish, and if so, by what method(s)? Finally, does anyone know any...
Well, considering that note from Goodyear, I'd definitely agree with Greg: get it published, so others can do the legwork for putting it into practice (and besidsed, others will have a hard time obtaining any kind of intellectual property protection if the idea was previously published by you).

I would suggest you get the glass fibers tested; I've seen several cases in the past that were clearly orthotropic, oddly enough... I'm no materials guy, so I'm hesitant to make any type of generalization, but rather, get the results to look at...

Re. 1: I would suggest using bulk modulus and young's modulus.
Re. 2: I couldn't agree more with your question, and think that jgough was seriously oversimplifying things...

well, that' doesn't surprise me, baris, because like I said, published data lists make my skin itch... they're fine if you want to use them to get some general idea of the material properties, but if you are using data to build a model, it simply isn't good enough. Especially if the data is only...
Hi!
I'm pretty much new to metals. We had two materials that we had tested in a quasi-static tensile test. The axial strain results look fine, but the transverse strain results, I'm having some trouble interpreting.
The first material decreased in thickness by 11% (before the test vs. after...
Hi Alleak;
Why don't you get your materials tested? You can get the material results in all directions you need. Some materials testing labs (like www.axelproducts.com) can help you out with that quite easily!

Perhaps a silly question, but why don't you just get your actual material tested? I know it costs a few $$, but that will get you by far the most accurate values. I agree completely with Demon3's first reply here in that one formulation varies greatly from the next. That alone is enough...

Contract test labs like Axel Products can perform the basic analysis. (e.g.: http://www.axelproducts.com/downloads/DynamicTest.pdf )
FEA support groups like that of ABAQUS Great Lakes can perform the FEA for you. Try contacting todATabaqusDOTcom (a guy named Tod Dalrymple, very...
Hi jisb007;
Failure in hyperelastic testing is pretty straightforward:
In uniaxial (simple) tension, it is the breaking of the specimen.
In pure shear (planar tension), it often is also the breaking of the specimen, HOWEVER, the specimen will typically break at the grips. An additional...
