The variation of fracture toughness with specimen thickness for Comsteel En25 compact tension specimens ranging in thickness from 4 mm to 25 mm and tempered from the asquenched state to 600Β°C is predicted reasonably well using the models proposed by Bluhm Proc. ASTM 61, 1324 (1961) and by Hahn er al

β¦ Synopsis
J-integral resistance curves for three specimen thicknesses and valid (according to ASTM Method E 399) K~ values at 76 K are reported for aluminum alloy 2219. The J-integral values were independent of thickness at small crack extensions, but at substantial crack extensions the values for the thin specimens were larger than those for the thick specimens. The measured J,c values were less than those calculated from the measured K~c values. The reason for this discrepancy was that crack extension occurred before the K~ measurement point was reached.
