Effect of Specimen Size on J-Integral and Stress-Intensity Factor at the Onset of Crack Extension
SourceFor a nickel-chromium-molybdenum steel and the aluminum alloy 7475, linear-elastic fracture mechanics can be applied to determine the stress-intensity factor at the onset of crack extension KIo for specimens with (W − a)c>0.4 (KIo/σy)2. For smaller specimens, KIo can be calculated from the J-integral JIo at the onset of crack extension, whereas linear-elastic fracture mechanics yield values which are too low. Below a minimum thickness B ≤ 50 JIo/σy an increase of Jo was observed.
