Experimental Study on Out-Plane Crack Extension in Rimmed Steel

Abstract:

Study on the fractural mechanism of thin sheet metals focuses on how to efficiently fracture and recycle the scrapped vehicles and electrical equipments. By using the experimental fracture mechanics, the failure mode was studied for 10F rimmed steel sheets to be crushed and recycled. In-plane mode I, out-plane mixed mode I /III and mode III fracture tests were conducted under different loading angles. The effects and contributions of mixed mode crack extensions for 10F rimmed steel sheets were analyzed and some sensitive fractural factors were studied. The experimental results show that pure mode III is most viable to fracture the thin sheet 10F rimmed steels.
