Conditions of stable and unstable crack growth by the mechanism of ductile fracture under quasi-static loading are analyzed. Simulation of crack growth by the finite element method (FEM) based on the strain fracture criterion was carried out. The effect of ratio of an elementary crack extension size to a plastic zone size on the kind of JR-curves is investigated. Based on these investigations conditions are determined under which unstable crack growth is possible for small scale and large scale yielding. The criterion is formulated for the absence of unstable crack growth in highly irradiated austenitic materials including the situation when the Feγ→Feα transition happens.
