Experimental Verification of the and Equivalent Energy Methods for the Evaluation of the Fracture Toughness of Steels
SourceThe critical value JIc and the apparent fracture toughness KBd are measured with a single small specimen (compact tension or three-point-bend bar) loaded in the elastic-plastic range. Initiation is detected during loading by an electrical potential method.
For the steels studied here (2.25Cr-1Mo, electroslag weld, manganese cast steel), the KIc values deduced from JIc are in agreement with the KIc values directly measured with thick specimens in the transition-temperature range. Furthermore, the equivalent energy procedure gives the same results as those obtained by the J-integral method.
