Fracture toughness by this method isrelative to a slowly advancing steady state crack initiated at achevron-shaped notch, and propagating in a chevron-shapedligament (Fig. 1). Some metallic

4、materials, when tested by thismethod, exhibit a sporadic crack growth in which the crackfront remains nearly stationary until a critical load is reached.The crack then becomes unstable and suddenly advances athigh speed to the next arrest point. For these materials, this testmethod covers the determ

5、ination of the plane-strain fracturetoughness, KIvjor KIvM, relative to the crack at the points ofinstability.NOTE 1One difference between this test method and Test MethodE 399 (which measures KIc) is that Test Method E 399 centers attention onthe start of crack extension from a fatigue precrack. Th

Although both methods are based on theprinciples of linear elastic fracture mechanics, this difference, plus otherdifferences in test procedure, may cause the values from this test

Therefore, toughness valuesdetermined by this test method cannot be used interchangeably with KIc.1.2 This test method uses either chevron-notched rod speci-mens of circular cross section, or chevron-notched bar speci-mens of square or rectangula

However, any test behavior not satisfying the condi-tions for crack j

21、, whereupon the crackbecomes unstable and suddenly advances at high speed to thenext arrest point, where it remains nearly stationary until theforce again reaches a critical value, etc. (see Fig. 5).3.2.4.1 DiscussionA chevron-notch specimen is said tohave a crack jump behavior when crack jumps acco

25、peningdisplacement.3.2.6.1 DiscussionThis unloading slope ratio provides amethod of determining the crack length at various points on thetest record and therefore allows evaluation of stress intensitycoefficient Y* (see 3.2.11). The effective unloading slope ratiois measured by performing unloading-

26、reloading cycles duringthe test as indicated schematically in Fig. 4 and Fig. 5. For eachunloading-reloading trace, the effective unloading slope ratio,r, is defined in terms of the tangents of two angles:r 5 tan u/tan uowhere:tan uo= the slope of the initial elastic line, andtan u = the slope of an

27、 effective unloading line.The effective unloading line is defined as having an origin atthe high point where the displacement reverses direction onunloading (slot mouth begins to close) and joining the lowpoint on the reloading line where the force is one half that atthe high point.3.2.6.2 Discussio

28、nFor a brittle material with linear elasticbehavior the unloading-reloading lines of an unloading-reloading cycle would be linear and coincident. For manyengineering materials, deviations from linear elastic behaviorand hysteresis are commonly observed to a varying degree.These effects require an un

For any particular

30、 point it is thevalue that would be measured for r if an unloading-reloadingcycle were performed at that point.3.2.7 critical slope ratio, rcthe unloading slope ratio atthe critical crack length.3.2.8 critical crack lengththe crack length in a chevron-notch specimen at which the specimens stress-int

Summary of Test Method4.1 This test method

37、involves the application of a load to themouth of a chevron-notched specimen to induce an openingdisplacement of the specimen mouth. An autographic record ismade of the load versus mouth opening displacement and theslopes of periodic unloading-reloading cycles are used tocalculate the crack length b

38、ased on compliance techniques.These crack lengths are expressed indirectly as slope ratios.The characteristics of the force versus mouth opening displace-ment trace depend on the geometry of the specimen, thespecimen plasticity during the test, any residual stresses in thespecimen, and the crack gro

39、wth characteristics of the materialbeing tested. In general, two types of force versus displacementtraces are recognized, namely, smooth behavior (see 3.2.3) andcrack jump behavior (see 3.2.4).4.1.1 In metals that exhibit smooth crack behavior (3.2.3),the crack initiates at a low force at the tip of

40、 a sufficiently sharpchevron, and each incremental increase in its length corre-sponds to an increase in crack front width and requires furtherincrease in force. This force increase continues until a point isreached where further increases in force provide energy inexcess of that required to advance

41、 the crack. This maximumforce point corresponds to a width of crack front approximatelyone third the specimen diameter or thickness.

43、h crack growth under decreasing force. Two unloading-reloading cycles are performed to determine the location of thecrack, the force used to calculate KIv, and to provide validitychecks on the test. The fracture toughness is calculated fromthe force required to advance the crack when the crack is at

44、 thecritical crack length (see 3.2.8). The plane-strain fracturetoughness determined by this procedure is termed KIv.Analternative procedure, described in Annex A1, omits theunloading cycles and uses the maximum test force to calculatea plane-strain fracture toughness KIvM, where M signifies theuse

45、of the maximum force. Values of KIvversus KIvMarediscussed in Annex A1.4.1.2 A modified procedure is used to determine KIvjwhencrack jump behavior is encountered. In this procedure,unloading-reloading cycles are used to determine the cracklocation at which the next jump will begin. The KIvjvalues ar
