Fracture Toughness of Hardox-400 Steel at the Ductile-to-Brittle Transition Temperature Range − The Influence of the In-Plane Constraint

Abstract:

Fracture toughness is a structural elements property. Critical values of the J - integral, J_IC measured according to the standards requirements, when transferred to engineering applications can lead to a significant conservatism in assessing integrity of a structure. In the article the formulae to estimate the fracture toughness taking into account the in-plane constraint in elements are proposed. These formulae are based on the analysis of the stress field in front of the crack proposed by Hutchinson, Rice and Rosengren (HRR), and O'Dowd's, Shih's modifications of HRR field, as well as the analysis of the stress field in front of the crack, computed numerically.
