One common concern with the manual testing of chevron notched specimens to determine fracture toughness is that it does not provide for precise control over the loading rate. This study examines the effect of loading rate on the measured fracture toughness of 20 identical hardened AISI 4140 steel sa

Fracture toughness testing in the transition region often causes ductile tearing to precede cleavage fracture. The effect of ductile tearing on the fracture probability has in recent years become a subject of great interest. Briickner and Munz have developed a Weibull statistics based model to descr
Correlations are shown between the plane strain fracture toughness, K,,, and the notch tensile/yield strength ratios, NTS/YS, for 2124-T85l alloy. Over 100 data points were available in each of the three conventional testing directions. Results indicate that the sharp notch tension test could have r
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 600ยฐC is predicted reasonably well using the models proposed by Bluhm Proc.
