The Relationship

Experimental and analytical investigations into crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) were conducted to demonstrate the relationship between BS7448-CTOD and ASTM E1290-CTOD. The CTOD test results showed that ASTM-CTOD was occasionally much lower than BS-CTOD both in single edge notch bend specimens and in compact tension (C(T)) specimens for low-strength structural steels, and this tended to be more remarkable in C(T) specimens. In addition, the analytical results of simplified elastic-plastic fracture parameter calculation using the Electric Power Research Institute scheme demonstrated that the ratio of ASTM-CTOD to BS-CTOD was not constant but varied according to CTOD changes. Material factors such as the yield stress, the strain hardening exponent, specimen size and configurations influenced the CTOD ratio, and low strain hardening exponents in the Ramberg–Osgood relation and C(T) specimen configuration significantly decreased the CTOD ratio. An equation that transforms BS-CTOD into ASTM-CTOD is proposed in this study. This equation gives a good estimate of ASTM-CTOD from BS-CTOD.

Experimental and analytical investigations into Crack Tip Opening Displacement, CTOD, were conducted to demonstrate the relationship between BS7448-CTOD and ASTM E1290-CTOD. CTOD test results showed that ASTM-CTOD was occasionally much lower than BS-CTOD both in single edge notch bend specimens and in CT specimens for low-strength structural steels, and this tends to be more remarkable in CT specimens.

Abstract This paper presents a numerical analysis of the relationship between in-plane constraints and the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) for single-edge notched bend (SEN(B)) specimens under predominantly plane strain conditions. It provides details of the numerical model and discusses the influence of external load and in-plane constraints on the CTOD. The work also reviews methods for determining the CTOD. The new formula proposed in this paper can be used to estimate the value of the coefficient dn as a function of the relative crack length, the strain hardening exponent and the yield strength - dn(n, σ0/E, a/W), with these parameters affecting the level of in-plane constraints. Some of the numerical results were approximated using simple mathematical formulae.

The Relationship

For front-force compact tension specimen (FFCT), based on the refined results of the relationship between crack tip opening displacement and load line crack opening displacement from Finite Element Analysis (FEA), the influences of material properties and plastic deformation near the crack tip have been analyzed. A simplified and accurate transform formula for FFCT specimens is presented in this paper, and the error analysis is conducted.

Crack Tip Opening

In this investigation, the variation of J-integral considering Compact Tension (CT) specimen geometry varying a/W and σ using 2D and 3D elasto-plastic Finite Element (FE) analysis have been studied. Further, the investigation has been done to examine the relationship between the J and δ for varied a/W and σ. The plane stress and plane strain elasto-plastic FE analyses have been conducted on the CT specimen with a/W = 0.45–0.65 to extract the J and Crack-tip Opening Displacement (CTOD) values for mild steel. The comparative study of the variation of dn with a/W of mild steel with earlier results of IF steel is carried out. The study clearly infers the effect of yield stress on the variation of the magnitude of dn with reference to a/W ratio. The present analysis infers that while converting the magnitude of the CTOD to J one needs to carefully evaluate the value of dn depending on the material rather than considering it to be unity. Further, the study was extended to experimental and 3D FEA wherein J-integral and CTOD were estimated using the CT specimen. Experimental results reveal that the crack length, the specimen thickness, and the loading configuration have an effect on the fracture toughness measurements. The error analysis between the results obtained by 3D FEA and experimentation were conducted and found to be within limits.

Rotational Factor

The plastic part of crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) is derived from the plastic hinge model for deep-notched single edge-notch bend (SE(B)) specimens in BS, WES and ISO CTOD testing standards, and a typical plastic rotational factor is given by a constant value of 0.4. This value is appropriate for deep-notched SE(B) specimens, but is not suitable for shallow-notched SE(B) specimens. In this study, a new equation of calculating the plastic rotational factor was obtained by using the Electric Power Research Institute (EPRI) scheme. The equation shows the effect of crack length and strain hardening on the plastic rotational factor, and is useful for evaluating CTOD in shallow-notched SE(B) specimens.

Crack Tip Opening

Abstract Standard-compliant measurement of the in-plane fracture toughness of metals is often challenging due to insufficient material in the through-thickness direction to extract a full single edge bending (SEB) or compact tension (CT) fracture specimen. In the present work, we propose a new specimen design methodology to overcome this challenge. A W-shaped SEB specimen (called W-SEB) was developed, and its topology was optimized using finite element simulations. The new specimen design was validated numerically and experimentally on a case study showing excellent agreement with standard ASTM E1820 actual SEB specimen geometry. In view assessing the anisotropy of the fracture toughness (KQ and crack tip opening displacement (CTOD)) of pipeline steels susceptible to hydrogen-induced cracking (HIC), the W-SEB specimen was tested on X65 and X42 pipeline steel samples taken from the field. Experimental results show an increase in the maximum CTOD along the in-plane direction as compared to the transverse direction for both steel grades. Such experimental results could lead to important considerations with respect to accurate fitness for service assessment of HIC-damaged assets.

Crack Tip Opening

Crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) tests were carried out on different positions of X70, X80 and X100 pipe by three-point bend testing method. The results show that the crack propagation resistance and the tear modulus of base metal, heat affected zone (HAZ), and weld of X70 and X80 pipe are larger than that of X100 pipe. At the same time,The initial CTOD values and the CTOD values withmaximum load of X70 and X80 pipe are larger than that of X100 pipe.The test results suggest that the fracture toughness, crack initiation and propagation resistance of theX70 and X80 pipe are greater than that of X100 pipe, and the mechanismis analyzed finally.
