Abstract

Abstract C-ring specimen geometries are used to ascertain Weibull parameters for spatially distributed flaw populations in ceramic gun barrels. A review of previously published results used to compute effective areas and effective volumes for this test specimen geometry is presented along with deficiencies associated with these computations. In addition, the results of the numerical analyses presented utilizing finite-element analysis and component level reliability algorithms clearly indicate that geometric constraints called out in the current ASTM standard for C-ring testing must be revised.
