Assessing the use of Circumferentially Notched Tension specimen for fracture toughness determination of ductile offshore steels

The Circumferentially Notched Tension (CNT) specimen is a potential candidate for determining the fracture toughness of highly constrained cracks, theoretically approaching plane strain conditions, even for small test specimen dimensions. This research aims to experimentally evaluate the use of the...
