Finite element simulations of the three point bend fracture toughness specimen have been performed to investigate the effect of crack front curvature and side-grooving. Even modest crack front curvature moves the position of maximum energy release rate from the center towards the free surfaces of th

Elastic-plastic stress states on double-edge-notched tensile specimens are analyzed by the three-dimensional finite element method. Effect of side grooves on the stress state around the crack tip are discussed on specimens about 30% side-grooved in U, V and slit types comparing with a regular flat s
Microstructural observations of brittle materials indicated that a variety of microdefect events can be responsible not only for inelastic behaviour, but also for macroscopic crack front irregularity. This irregularity produces an increase in the fracture toughness of the material. In this paper, th
The statistical scatter of fracture toughness in the ductile-brittle transition temperature range was experimentally examined on a 500 MPa class low carbon steel. Fracture toughness tests were replicatedly performed at Γ60 Β°C, Γ20 Β°C and Γ10 Β°C. The tests at Γ60 Β°C resulted in a single modal Weibull
