Summary of Test Method4.1 The objective of this standard is to induce stable crackextension in a fatigue pre-cracked, low-constraint test speci-men while monitoring and measuring the COD at the originalfatigue pre-crack-tip locatio

34、n (4, 5) or the CTOA(or CTOD) at1-mm behind the stably tearing crack tip (6, 7), or both. Theresistance curve associated with the 5measurements and thecritical limiting value of the CTOA measurements are used tocharacterize the corresponding resistance to stable crack ex-tension. In contrast, the CT

35、OD values determined from TestE2472 1212Method E1290 (high-constraint bend specimens) are values atone or more crack extension events, such as the CTOD at theonset of brittle crack extension with no significant stable crackextension.4.2 Either of the fatigue pre-cracked, low-constraint testspecimen

36、configurations specified in this standard C(T) orM(T) may be used to measure or calculate either of thefracture resistance parameters considered. The fracture resis-tance parameters, CTOA (or CTOD) and 5, may be charac-terized using either a single-specimen or multiple-specimenprocedure. In all case

37、s, tests are performed by applying slowlyincreasing displacements to the test specimen and measuringthe forces, displacements, crack extension and angles realizedduring the test. The forces, displacements and angles are thenused in conjunction with certain pre-test and post-test specimenmeasurements

38、 to determine the materials resistance to stablecrack extension.4.3 Four procedures for measuring crack extension are:surface visual, unloading compliance, electrical potential, andmultiple specimens.4.4 Two techniques are presented for measuring CTOA:optical microscopy (OM) (8) and digital image co

39、rrelation(DIC) (9).4.5 Three techniques are presented for measuring COD: 5clip gage (5), optical microscopy (OM) (8), and digital imagecorrelation (DIC) (9).4.6 Data generated following the procedures and guidelinescontained in this standard are labeled qualified data and areinsensitive to in-plane

Significance and Use5.1 This test method characterizes a metallic materialsresistance to stable crack extension in terms of crack-tip-opening angle (CTOA), and/or crack-opening displacement(COD

42、 rate and laboratory environmentmay have on the fracture parameters. The user should performa literature review to determine if loading rate effects havebeen observed previously in the material at the specifictemperature and environment being tested. The user shoulddocument specific information pert

Awareness ofdifferences that may exist between laboratory test and fieldconditions is required to

48、make proper flaw assessment.5.6.4 The critical CTOA (c) has been used with theelastic-plastic finite-element method to accurately predictstructural response and force carrying capacity of simple andcomplex cracked structural components, see Appendix X1.5.6.5 The 5parameter has been related to the J-
