Coefficient of Variation, C | k_{a} aS^{b}_{ut} LN(1, C) | Surface Finish | ||
b | a | |||
MPa | kpsi | |||
0.120 | −0.086 | 1.58 | 1.34 | Ground∗ |
0.058 | −0.265 | 4.45 | 2.67 | Machined or Cold-rolled |
0.110 | −0.719 | 58.1 | 14.5 | Hot-rolled |
0.145 | −0.995 | 271 | 39.8 | As-forged |
*Due to the wide scatter in ground surface data, an alternate function is k_{a}0.878LN(1, 0.120). Note: S_{ut} in kpsi or MPa.
k_{a} = 4.45(520)^{−0.265}LN(1, 0.058)
\overline{k}_{a} = 4.45(520)^{−0.265}(1) = 0.848
\hat {σ}_{ka} = C \overline{k}_{a}= (0.058)4.45(520)^{−0.265} = 0.049
so k_{a} = LN(0.848, 0.049).
