Fracture Mechanics Tests on Axially Cracked Pipe Sections Subjected to Internal Pressure

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

Summary

As a continuation of investigations into the validity of the crack tip opening displacement, δ5, as a crack field parameter, axially cracked pipe sections were internally pressured and δ5-R-curves were recorded. A comparison of these with δ5 -R-curves of similar compact tension specimens showed close coincidence largely independent of both initial crack length and of plastic bulging in the cracked region of the pipe sections.
