Abstract

Methodical questions concerning determination of the crack-resistance characteristics of structural materials are addressed. Fracture-toughness characteristics, which are established from methods proposed in existing regulatory documents may have a 22% spread evoked by objective factors. One means of reducing this spread is the computer processing of load-displacement diagrams.

A method of approximating the load-displacement diagrams, which is based on the use of spline functions, is proposed and substantiated. The accuracy of approximation of these diagrams is confirmed. Good correspondence is indicated between computer and experimental data.

An example is given for the calculation of crack-resistance characteristics in accordance with the proposed method.
