COEC微小试样用于延性断裂行为评定的规则化法研究

在材料断裂行为评定中,试样小型化不仅具有取样方便和节约成本的优点,而且对满足特殊取样要求的断裂韧度测试有重要工程意义。采用含外侧边裂纹C形压缩(C-shaped outside edge-notched compression,COEC)小试样,基于量纲一载荷分离理论发展了其用于获取延性材料的断裂韧度的规则化测试方法。采用A508-III压力容器钢完成了不同规格COEC、紧凑拉伸(Compact tension,CT)和单边裂纹弯曲(Single edged-notched bending,SEB)试样的J阻力曲线试验。结果表明,相比试样厚度,初始裂纹长度对COEC试样的J阻力曲线测试结果影响更大。同时,由于COEC试样具有更高的裂尖约束水平,其J阻力曲线明显低于标准CT、SEB试样的结果。

Estimation of J—R Curves for Small-Sized COEC Specimens and Its Application Considering Crack-Tip Cons tr aints

The normalization method has been employed to estimate the J-resistance (J—R) curves for C-shaped outside edge-notched compression (COEC) specimens of SA-508 steel. The COEC specimens present the lowest J—R curves in comparison with other three types of specimens. Based on the J—Q—M met hod, the constraint parame ter Q determined at the mid-plane in the through-thickness direction of the specimen is used to approximately quantify the threedimensional crack-tip constraint for COEC specimens. Combining with the previous experiments on J—R curves, the constraint-coirected J—R curves for SA-508 steel specimens are given, which may be used to predict the fracture toughness of actual cracked components in structural integrity assessment.
