    Plane-strain fracture toughness, KIc the crack-extension

    resistance under conditions of crack-tip plane strain in Mode I for

    slow rates of loading under predominantly linear-elastic

    conditions and negligible plastic-zone adjustment. The stress

    intensity factor, KIc, is measured using the operational procedure

    (and satisfying all of the validity requirements) specified in Test

    Method E 399, that provides for the measurement of crack-

    extension resistance at the onset (2% or less) of crack extensionand provides operational definitions of crack-tip sharpness, onset

    of crack-extension, and crack-tip plane strain.

    Plane-strain fracture toughness, JIc the crack-extension

    resistance under conditions of crack-tip plane strain in Mode I

    with slow rates of loading and substantial plastic deformation.

    The J-integral, JIc, is measured using the operational procedure

    (and satisfying all of the validity requirements) specified in Test

    Method E 1820, that provides for the measurement of crack-

    extension resistance near the onset of stable crack extension.

    ASTM E 399

    Characterizes the resistance of a material to fracture in a neutral environment inthe presence of a sharp crack under essentially linear-elastic stress and severe

    tensile constraint, such that (1) the state of stress near the crack front

    approaches tritensile plane strain, and (2) the crack-tip plastic zone is smallcompared to the crack size, specimen thickness, and ligament ahead of the

    crack;

    Is believed to represent a lower limiting value of fracture toughness;

    May be used to estimate the relation between failure stress and crack size for a

    material in service wherein the conditions of high constraint described abovewould be expected;

    Only if the dimensions of the product are sufficient to provide specimens of thesize required for valid KIc determination.

    Microscopic mechanisms: motion of dislocations, twinning.

    Phenomenological theory on macro-scale in the framework of

    Incremental Theory of Plasticity

    ,ij ij ij ijt t

    Material behaviour is non-linear and plastic (permanent)deformations depend on loading history.

    Constitutive equations are established incrementally forsmall changes of loading and deformation

    t> 0 is no physical time but a scalar loading parameter, and hence

    ij and ij are no velocities but rates

    Deformation, Damage, Fracture

    Deformation

    Cohesion of matter is conserved

    Elastic: atomic scale

    Reversible change of atomic distances

    Plastic: crystalline scale

    Irreversible shift of atoms, dislocation movement

    Damage

    Laminar or volumetric discontinuities on the micro scale (micro-cracks, microvoids, micro-cavities)

    Damage evolution is an irreversible process, whosemicromechanical causes are very similar to deformationprocesses but whose macroscopic implications are muchdifferent

    Fracture

    Laminardiscontinuities on the macro scale leading to globalfailure (cleavage fracture, ductile rupture)

    Milano_2012 16

    Damage Models

    Damage models describe evolution of degradation phenomena

    on the microscale from initial (undamaged or predamaged) state

    up to creation of a crack on the mesoscale (material element)

    Damage is described by means ofinternal variables in the

    framework ofcontinuum mechanics.

    Phenomenological models

    Change of macroscopically observable properties are

    interpreted by means of the internal variable(s);

    Concept of effective stress: Kachanov [1958, 1986], Lemaitre& Chaboche [1992], Lemaitre [1992].

    Micromechanical models

    The mechanical behaviour of a representative volume element

    (RVE) with defect(s) is studied;

    Constitutive equations are formulated on a mesoscale by

    homogenisation of local stresses and strains in the RVE.

    ASTM E 1820

    Determination of fracture toughness of metallic materials using the parameters K,

    Assuming the existence of a preexisting, sharp, fatigue crack, the material fracture

    toughness values identified by this test method characterize its resistance to

    (1) Fracture of a stationary crack

    (2) Fracture after some stable tearing

    (3) Stable tearing onset

    (4) Sustained stable tearing

    This test method is particularly useful when the material response cannot be

    anticipated before the test.

    Serve as a basis for material comparison, selection and quality assurance;

    rank materials within a similar yield strength range;

    Serve as a basis for structural flaw tolerance assessment; awareness of

    differences that may exist between laboratory test and field conditions is

    required.

    Damage Models

    Damage models describe evolution of degradation phenomenaon the microscale from initial (undamaged or predamaged) stateup to creation of a crack on the mesoscale (material element)

    Damage is described by means ofinternal variables in theframework ofcontinuum mechanics.

    Phenomenological models

    Change of macroscopically observable properties areinterpreted by means of the internal variable(s);

    Concept of effective stress: Kachanov [1958, 1986], Lemaitre& Chaboche [1992], Lemaitre [1992].

    Micromechanical models

    The mechanical behaviour of a representative volume element(RVE) with defect(s) is studied;

    Constitutive equations are formulated on a mesoscale byhomogenisation of local stresses and strains in the RVE.

    Thermodynamics of Damage

    1. Definition ofstate variables, the actual value of each definingthe present state of the corresponding mechanism involved

    2. Definition of a state potential from which derive the state lawssuch as thermo-elasticity and the definition of the variablesassociated with the internal state variables

    3. Definition of a dissipation potential from which derive the lawsof evolution of the state variables associated with the dissipativemechanism

    Summary (I)

    Ductile crack extension and fracture can be modelled on various

    length scales:

    (1) Micromechanics: void nucleation, growth and coalescence

    (2) Continuum mechanics: constitutive equations with damage

    (3) Cohesive surfaces: traction-separation law

    (4) Elastic-plastic FM: R-curves for Jor CTOD

    The models require determination of respective parameters:

    (1) Microstructural characteristics: volume fraction, shape, distance of

    particles, ...

    (2) Initiation: f0, fn, n, sn, coalescence: fc, final fracture: ff, ....

    (3) Shape of TSL, cohesive strength c , separation energy c

    (4) J(a) or (a)

    Summary (II)

    The models have specific favourable and preferential applications:

    (1) Effects of nucleation mechanism, stress triaxiality, void /

    particle shape, void / particle spacing, ...

    (2) Constraint effects, inhomogeneous materials, damage

    evolution, ...

    (3) Large crack growth, residual strength of structures

    (4) Standard FM assessment of engineering structures
