Measurement of fracture toughness for the assessment of defects in structures

The pre-cracking requirements of the current Kxc, CTOD and Jic fracture toughness test standards are evaluated in relation to fatigue cracking load, R-ratio and fatigue crack shape based on data in the literature and tests on parent plate and weldments.Three techniques used for overcoming the detrim...
