✦ Synopsis

Ah&act-The significance of low toughness pop-ins in weldment crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) tests is better understood once the relevant crack arrest toughness is known. This paper describes how a static crack arrest toughness, J., may be derived simply from the CTOD test itself.
