40、e determination of the plane-strain fracture toughness (KIc) of metallic materials byincreasing-force tests of fatigue precracked specimens. Force isapplied either in tension or three-point bending. Details of thetest specimens and experimental procedures are given in theAnnexes. Force versus crack-

41、mouth opening displacement(CMOD) is recorded either autographically or digitally. Theforce at a 5 % secant offset from the initial slope (correspond-ing to about 2.0 % apparent crack extension) is established bya specified deviation from the linear portion of the record (1).The value of KIcis calcul

Thevalidity of the KIcvalue determined by this test methoddepends upon the establishment of a sharp-crack condition atthe tip of the fatigue crack in

43、 a specimen having a size adequateto ensure predominantly linear-elastic, plane-strain conditions.To establish the suitable crack-tip condition, the stress-intensity factor level at which specimen fatigue precracking isconducted is limited to a relatively low value.4.2 The specimen size required for

44、 test validity increases asthe square of the materials toughness-to-yield strength ratio.Therefore a range of proportional specimens is provided.5.
