The Influence of Prefabricated Crack with Bias Angle on the Material’s Fracture Toughness

Article Preview

Abstract:

In this work, the effect of the prefabricated crack offset angle on the fracture toughness of the CT specimen was studied by means of the numerical simulation of tensile fracture. It is found that offset angle has a great influence on the fracture toughness of the CT specimen with a straight crack, and the effect is obvious when the bias angle is greater than 3 degrees. For the CT specimen with an oblique crack tip, with the increase of the bias angle of the crack tip, the J-integral value and the fracture toughness are not significantly changed. At the same time, as the angle increases, the stress applied load has more obvious influence on the crack tip stress field.
