This paper presents the application of the Strain Energy Density (SED) criterion to the estimation of fracture loads on structural steel S355J2 operating at lower shelf temperatures (−196°C) and containing U-shaped notches. 24 fracture tests were performed on this material, combining 6 different notch radii: 0 mm (crack-like defect), 0.15 mm, 0.25 mm, 0.50 mm, 1.0 mm and 2.0 mm. The results obtained in cracked specimens (0 mm notch radius) were used to determine the material fracture toughness, which is an input parameter in the SED criterion, whereas the notched specimens were used to demonstrate the capacity and the limitations of the SED criterion to provide fracture load estimations in the analyzed conditions.

A bi-material notch composed of two orthotropic parts is considered. The stresses and displacements are expressed using the Stroh-Eshelby-Lekhnitskii formalism for plane elasticity. The potential direction of crack initiation is determined from the maximum mean value of the tangential stress or the local minimum of the mean value of the generalized strain energy density factor in both materials [1, 2]. The matched asymptotic procedure is introduced to derive the change of potential energy for the debonding crack and the crack initiated in the determined direction [3].
