The Use of the Partial Unloading Compliance Method for the Determination of - Curves and

Source

A computerized testing system was developed and utilized to determine JI-R curves and JIc by the partial unloading compliance method according to the ASTM Test for JIc, a Measure of Fracture Toughness (E 813) and the tentative test procedure for determining the plane strain JI-R curve. Based on testing experience with different materials in the temperature range from −196 to > 300°C some problems of the standard procedure concerning, for example, mechanical loading, data evaluation, and validity requirements, are discussed and some alternatives are proposed.
