The crack growth resistance of thin steel sheets under eccentric tension

Abstract

The stable crack growth in thin steel sheets is the topic of this paper. The crack opening was observed using a videoextensometry system, allowing the crack extension determination. J R-curve and d R-curve were established from obtained data. The ductile tearing properties of different thin sheets of steel were determined, including the impact of the specimen orientation, from test performed on compact tension specimens loaded under two conditions. The effect of the material, the rolling direction, and loading rate on the crack growth resistance of thin steel sheets was analyzed. In addition to the crack growth resistance, J-integral values for crack initiation were also estimated. The relation between J i and J 0.2 was assessed using the basic mathematical and statistical methods. This relation was described by a linear regression model.

Martensite content effect on fatigue crack growth and fracture energy in dual‐phase steels

“…Therefore, there seems to be a relationship between the hardness provided by the alloying elements and the fracture toughness behavior. Finally, the data reported by Ambrisko et al 50 are atypical for the carbon equivalent and fracture toughness values reported.…”

Non-Contact Evaluation of Deformation Characteristics on Automotive Steel Sheets

“…The given T values are valid for the specimen orientation TL (Figure 1) and loading rate 0.0217 mm.s −1 . The work presents other determined variants [32].…”

“…The resistance to stable crack growth was determined using J R curves. The methodology is described in detail in the work [32].…”
