Abstract

Mixed mode I/III toughness tests were performed on a Ni-Cr-Mo-V rotor steel that exhibited very high mode I toughness. The minimum toughness occurred under mixed mode loading conditions. The influence of mode III loading on total toughness is analyzed in terms of incompatibility effects at particles ahead of the crack tip.
