The Prediction of Failure Situations Using the CTOD Concept Based on the Engineering Treatment Model (ETM)

  • Conference paper
The Crack Tip Opening Displacement in Elastic-Plastic Fracture Mechanics

Abstract

Under the assumption of plane stress conditions, the CTOD concept is extended such that a full R-curve methodology arises consisting of an experimental procedure for the determination of the R-curve (details of which are reported in a separate paper) and of the driving force prediction. Predictions of initiation and maximum loads are in reasonable agreement with experimental results.
