A Study on the Behavior of the Plane Stress Fracture Toughness - About the Compact Tension Specimen-

平面應力 破壞靭性値 擧動에 관한 硏究

In this paper, the plane stress fracture toughness of low carbon steel with 3mm thickness is investigated for various specimen widths and crack ratios using the J integral. The experiments is carried out for the compact tension(CT) specimen on an Instron machine. For materials that may be approximated by the Ramberg and Osgood stress strain law, the relevant crack parameter like the J integral and load line displacement are approximately normalized. Crack driving forces in terms of J integral is computed using the above estimation scheme. Abtained results are summarized as follows. (1) The plane stress fracture toughness, J$_{c}$, is almost constant in the range 50-70mm of width. Hence J$_{c}$ can be obtained by using smaller specimen than ASTM standard. (2) Yoon's and Simpson's formular which considers crack growth in obtaining J integral show more consevative J than Rice's and Merkle's (3) J$_{c}$ is almost constant in the range 0.499-0.701 crack ratios tested. J$_{c}$ obtained by using Kumar's formular is 28.14kgf/mm for base metal specimen and 32.51kgf/mm for annealed. (4) Comparison of the prediction with actual experimental measurements by Yoon's formular show good agreement for several different-size specimens.

본 논문에서는 이와 같은 점을 고려하여 두께가 얇은 평면응력 상태의 CT 시 험편을 이용하여 W와 z의 변화에 따른 파괴인성치와 J저항곡선의 거동 및 크랙성장을 고려한 J적분식도 검토하였다. 또한, 재료를 변형경화 재료로 가정하고 HRR 응력변 형율장의 특성을 이용하여 컴퓨터 프로그램을 작성하여 J적분을 구한 후 실험치와 상 호 비교 검토하였다. 이 때 사용한 입력자료는 실험치의 그것과 동일하게 하였다.
