A Comparison of the J -lntegral and CTOD Parameters for Short Crack Specimen Testing
TL;DR: In this article, the applicability of the J-integral test procedure to test short crack specimens in the temperature region below the initiation of ductile tearing where J 1 c cannot be measured was investigated.
Journal ArticleDOI
Effects of crack depth on elastic-plastic fracture toughness
TL;DR: In this article, the elastic-plastic fracture toughness, characterized by the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD), was analyzed for short crack test specimens with a/W ratios of 0.15 and 0.50 throughout lower-shelf and lower-transition regions.
Journal ArticleDOI
Numerical evaluation of a 3-D J-integral and comparison with experimental results for a 3-Point bend specimen
TL;DR: In this article, a 3D nonlinear finite element analysis is used to compute J along the crack front and the analytical values are compared to experimental'mean' values derived from the recorded load and crack mouth opening displacement.
Book ChapterDOI
An Analytical Comparison of Short Crack and Deep Crack CTOD Fracture Specimens of an A36 Steel
TL;DR: In this article, the effect of crack-depth to specimen-width ratio on crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness is analyzed. But the results of the analysis are limited to the case of 3-point bend specimens.
Book ChapterDOI
Specimen Thickness Effects for Elastic-Plastic CTOD Toughness of an A36 Steel
TL;DR: In this paper, the effect of specimen size on the fracture-toughness behavior of A36 steel was investigated using a 3D elastic-plastic finite-element analysis.
