CRACK-TIP OPENING ANGLE [1 record]

Record 1 2006-07-11

English

Subject field(s)
  • Engineering Tests and Reliability
  • Strength of Materials
CONT

The current trend [in toughness assessment of modern steels] is to use larger full-thickness specimens that can be made to fracture in a drop-weight test, and to instrument the test machine so that quantitative measures of toughness such as absorbed energy or crack-tip opening angle (CTOA) can be measured.

CONT

... efforts are now being devoted to micro-mechanical modelling of the fracture process to predict the load at which fracture will occur and the geometry (CTOA) of the propagating crack.

Key term(s)
  • crack tip opening angle

French

Domaine(s)
  • Fiabilité, contrôle et essais (Ingénierie)
  • Résistance des matériaux
CONT

[...] on installe sur la machine d'essai [de rupture par chute d'un poids] des instruments permettant d'obtenir des mesures quantitatives de la résilience, par exemple, l'énergie absorbée ou l'angle d'ouverture de l'extrémité de la fissure (AOEF).

CONT

Les travaux portent [...] sur la modélisation micromécanique du processus de rupture afin de prévoir la charge qui causera la rupture ainsi que la géométrie (AOEF) de la fissure qui se formera.
