Fracture Toughness of Loifr Ductility Materials

S. Barzilai, B. Karp, M. Perl

May 1998

Abstract *

The results of a survey of methods for evaluating fracture toughness

characteristics for semi-brittle and brittle materials are presented in this report.

These methods differ considerably from those used for ductile materials by the

specimen configurations, the methodology of the experiments and by the

problems occurring while using these methods.

The survey yields several important findings!

A.It is possible to create steady state crack growth by cyclic loading in several

semi-brittle materials.

B.The need for pre-cracking is not yet clear, nevertheless it is recommended

to evaluate fracture toughens with pre-cracked specimen.

C.As crack length and ligament size may effect fracture toughness results it is

necessary to define minimum specimen dimensions to avoid this effect.

D.The specimen thickness hardly affects the fracture toughens.

E.Loading rate for the test is not well defined. It is commonly accepted to end

the test in one minute.

F.The main mechanism that causes inelastic deformation in semi-brittle

materials is related to the generation of micro-cracks.
