Wide-Plate Testing of Weldments: Part I—Wide-Plate Testing in Perspective

Source

Depending on the ultimate purpose of the test, many wide-plate test specimen designs have been developed to provide a quantitative framework for evaluating both the fracture initiation and the fracture propagation or arrest conditions. This paper focuses on historical developments in wide-plate testing with respect to fracture initiation behavior problems only. This paper also addresses the role, as well as the limitations, of wide-plate testing in fracture research.
