Dynamic crack propagation in large steel specimens
(2002) In Engineering Fracture Mechanics 69(7). p.835-849- Abstract
- Dynamic fracture experiments on crack initiation and crack growth in single edge bend specimens are performed. The impact velocity is in the range of 14 to 50 m/s and the specimen size is 320 x 75 mm with a thickness varying from 18 to 40 mm. The experiments are recorded by high speed photography. Two different steel qualities are investigated and their constitutive characterisation are obtained from uni-axial tension tests and shear tests with strain rates in the range 10(-4) to 10(3)s(-1) and tension tests at temperatures between -196 and 600degreesC. One of the materials exhibits a transition from a ductile dimple fracture to a brittle cleavage fracture as the loading velocity increases and as the specimen thickness increases. Scanning... (More)

One of the materials exhibits a transition from a ductile dimple fracture to a brittle cleavage fracture as the loading velocity increases and as the specimen thickness increases. Scanning electron microscope fractographs show that the density of plastic bridges within cleavage ligaments decreases with increasing impact velocity and with increasing specimen thickness. It is also noted that the local crack propagation direction defects from the global one in cleavage fracture areas with a high density of plastic bridges. The other material fails in a ductile mode in all the investigated cases. (Less)
