Main Objective
The overall objective of COMET project Phase II is to establish a robust correlation model between coercivity and fracture toughness on real-life samples in order to develop the first prototype of a coercimetry-based fracture toughness assessment solution.
Public Abstract
The strategy for Phase II of the program can be enumerated as follows:
- Perform non-destructive tests on actual pipe samples provided by PRCI to obtain more data samples and confirm the correlation between coercivity and fracture toughness.
- Complete normalized destructive testing on all samples.
- Build a robust empirical correlation model between coercivity measurements and fracture toughness.
- Develop a field-deployable prototype and test it with material from PRCI which hasn't been used for destructive tests.
- Test the technology on-site at a location determined by U.S. Department of Transportation.
