Development of a Criterion for the Effect on the J-R Curve of Elastic Unloadings
SourceA criterion is proposed which allows estimation of the fraction of cyclic damage which would be expected from a given number of partial or complete unloadings applied during the course of a J-R curve fracture toughness test. The criterion requires both geometry and material inputs, but for the special case of a steel compact specimen, an upper-bound criterion is developed and presented graphically.
Data from a series of compact specimens of a 3% nickel alloy steel are used to verify both the model used and the resulting fractional damage criterion developed.
