Introduction

The success of the Twenty-First National Symposium on Fracture Mechanics, held on

28-30 June 1988 in Annapolis, Maryland, and sponsored by ASTM Committee E-24 on

Fracture Testing, demonstrated the continued rapid development occurring in this field.

Papers were solicited from all areas of fracture mechanics and its applications. Contributions

representing a wide range of topics came from the United States and six foreign countries.

New work is presented in elastic-plastic fracture, dynamic fracture, transition fracture in

steels, micromechanical aspects of the fracture process, computational mechanics, fracture

mechanics testing, and applications of this technology. Each area poses its own challenges,

and developments proceed somewhat independently. This volume aids the researcher in

keeping abreast of these varied aspects of the discipline of fracture mechanics.

The diligent work of the Symposium Organizing Committee, the authors, and the review￾ers is gratefully appreciated. We would particularly like to recognize the efforts of the ASTM

staff including Mr. Hans Greene, Ms. Kathy Friend, Ms. Wendy Dyer, Ms. Kathy Greene,

Ms. Monica Armata, Ms. Rita Harhut, and Mr. Allan Kleinberg. Finally, the assistance of

ABSTRACT: The effect of crack-depth to specimen-width ratio on crack tip opening displace￾ment (CTOD) fracture toughness is an important consideration in relating the results of labo￾ratory tests to the behavior of actual structures. Deeply cracked three-point bend specimens

with crack-depth to specimen-width ratios (a/W) of 0.50 are most often used in laboratory

tests. However, to evaluate specific weld microstructures or the behavior of structures with

shallow surface cracks, specimens with a~ W ratios much less than 0.50 often are required. Lab￾oratory tests reveal that three-point bend specimens with short cracks (a/W = 0.15) exhibit

significantly larger critical CTOD values than specimens with deep cracks (a/W = 0.5) up to

the point of ductile initiation.

In this study, finite element analyses are employed to compare the elastic-plastic behavior of

square (cross-section) three-point bend specimens with crack-depth to specimen-width ratios

(a/W) ranging between 0.50 and 0.05. The two-dimensional analysis of the specimen with an

a/Wratio of0.15 reveals a fundamental change in the deformation pattern from the deep crack

deformation pattern. The plastic zone extends to the free surface behind the crack concurrent

with the development of a plastic hinge. For shorter cracks (a/W = 0. l0 and 0.05), the plastic

zone extends to the free surface behind the crack pnor to the development of a plastic hinge.

For longer cracks (a/W > 0.20), a plastic hinge develops before the plastic zone extends to the

free surface behind the crack.

These results prompted further study of specimens with an a/W ratio of 0.15 using three￾dimensional, elastic-plastic finite element analyses. Results of the short crack (a/W = 0.15)

analysis are compared to the results of the deep crack (a/W = 0.50) analysis reported previ￾ously by the authors. In the linear-elastic regime (characterized by small-scale plastic defor￾mation) the relationship of stress ahead of the crack tip to CTOD is identical for the short crack

and the deep crack specimens. At identical CTOD levels in the elastic-plastic regime (large￾scale plasticity, hinge formation), the crack tip stress is significantly lower for specimens with

a~ W = 0.15 than for specimens with a~ W = 0.50. Correspondingly, at equivalent stress levels,

the CTOD for the short crack is approximately 2.5 times the CTOD for the deep crack. This

observation has considerable significance in the application of CTOD results to failure analysis

or specification development where the fracture mechanism is cleavage preceded by significant

crack tip plasticity.

4 FRACTURE MECHANICS: TWENTY-FIRST SYMPOSIUM

The crack-depth to specimen-width ratio (a/W) has a significant effect on the fracture

toughness results in the elastic-plastic regime where brittle fracture is preceded by significant

crack tip blunting but no ductile tearing. Typically, deep cracks (a/W = 0.5) are tested in

laboratory specimens to develop maximum constraint (stress triaxiality) at the crack tip and

therefore provide conservative estimates of material toughness. While this approach may be

appropriate for the general characterization of material fracture toughness, in the evaluation

of existing flaws in structures it is more appropriate to model the actual degree of constraint

present in the structural component. In weldments, for example, the testing of short cracks

becomes particularly important, since the region of lowest toughness does not necessarily

occur at a crack depth halfway through the specimen. With the variation of microstructures

through the heat-affected zone (HAZ) and local brittle zones (LBZs), it is probable that a

deeply cracked laboratory specimen would not produce the conservative fracture toughness

values expected.

Several methods of laboratory testing for fracture toughness within the elastic-plastic

regime are standardized. The two most widely used are the J-integral and the crack tip open￾ing displacement (CTOD) test procedures. Both procedures could be extended to include

short crack specimens. Currently, the CTOD test procedure (BS 5762, "Methods for Crack

Opening Displacement Testing") has a major advantage in that it is the only standard which

allows testing throughout the entire realm of fracture toughness from linear-elastic to fully￾plastic behavior. J-integral standards (e.g., ASTM E 813, "Jic, A Measure of Fracture Tough￾ness") are currently limited to determining the initiation of ductile tearing (J~c), but have

often been extended to quantify brittle fracture (Jc) prior to initiation of ductile tearing.

Recent experimental investigations [I-7] have examined the effect of a/W ratio on the

fracture behavior of three-point bend specimens. Both critical values and ductile initiation

values of CTOD and J-integral were reported. A variety of materials were tested including

low-strength steels, high-strength steels, and weldments. The experimental studies [1-7] have

demonstrated CTOD and J-integral values for short crack specimens (a/W < 0.20) to be

significantly larger than for deep crack specimens (a/W = 0.50).

Most CTOD-based studies have used the BS 5762 CTOD versus crack mouth opening

displacement (CMOD) relation to analyze the behavior of short crack specimens. This rela￾tion is based on a small-scale yielding component and a plastic rotation component. A major

difficulty for CTOD testing is assessing the plastic rotation factor for specimens with a~ W

ratios less than 0.2. This rotation factor has been experimentally determined with dual clip￾gage techniques [3, 5] and rubber crack replication techniques [3, 4, 6, 7]. The rotation factor

for specimens with a~ W ratios of approximately 0.15 has been reported as low as 0.20 to as

high as 0.45.

This investigation focuses on three objectives. The first is to determine the a~ W ratio at

which the plastic zone extends from the crack tip to the free surface behind the crack for a

material with significant strain hardening. This a~ W ratio is expected to define the boundary

between short crack behavior and deep crack behavior. The second objective is to establish

a relationship to calculate CTOD from the measured load-CMOD record or alternative mea￾surement of specimen response. Ideally, this relationship would merely extend the current

BS 5762 equation. The third objective is to determine the effects of the crack depth on

stresses near the crack tip in relation to the CTOD levels.

Finite element analyses are conducted to study the effect of crack depth on the nonlinear

behavior of CTOD fracture toughness test specimens. Two-dimensional (plane-stress and

plane-strain) analyses are conducted using the uniaxial stress-strain properties of an A36

steel. Square cross-section, three-point bend specimens with crack-depth to specimen-width

ratios (a/W) of 0.50, 0.20, 0.15, 0.10, and 0.05 are analyzed. The stress distributions are

compared to determine the effect of crack depth on specimen behavior and crack tip con￾Copyright by ASTM Int'l (all rights reserved); Tue Dec 15 12:58:27 EST 2015

straint. A three-dimensional, elastic-plastic analysis is performed on full-size (31.8 by 31.8

by 127 mm (1.25 by 1.25 by 5.0 in.)) and sub-size (12.7 by 12.7 by 50.8 mm (0.50 by 0.50

by 2.0 in.)) three-point bend specimens with a~ W ratios of 0.15. Comparisons of the numer￾ical results demonstrate the effect of crack depth relative to specimen size and also the effect

of absolute crack depth. Results of the short crack (a/W = 0.15) CTOD specimens are com￾pared to numerical results of the deep crack (a/W = 0.50) CTOD specimens previously

analyzed by Sorem et al. [8].

Material Properties

The material properties for the finite element analysis were taken from the corresponding

experimental study on a 31.8 mm (1.25 in.) thick A36 steel plate in its as-rolled condition.

The engineering stress-strain curve obtained from a standard 12.8 mm (0.505 in.) diameter

longitudinal tensile test conducted at a slow loading rate is shown in Fig. 1. The A36 steel

had an ultimate stress to yield stress ratio of 1.86 and a strain hardening exponent of 0.23.

Tensile tests were conducted at room temperature and thus typify the stress-strain properties

over a temperature range of 0*C (32~ to 2 I*C (70*F). These temperatures corresponded to

the transition region between brittle and ductile behavior of the A36 steel.

Finite Element Analysis Procedure

Elastic-plastic finite element analyses were conducted on square three-point bend speci￾mens with a/W ratios ranging from 0.05 to 0.50. Finite element meshes for two of these

specimens are shown in Fig. 2. The analyses predicted the deformation for both small- and

large-scale plasticity with no simulation of crack growth. The finite element solutions

employed the conventional, linear strain-displacement relations based on small geometry

structural mechanics system [9, I0]. The analytical procedure was identical to that adopted

for the study of deeply cracked square specimens considered by Sorem et al. [8]. Details of

the finite element procedure are provided in the Appendix.

Finite Element Results

Plastic Zone Distributions

Two-dimensional finite-element analyses (FEA) were performed on the full-size, square

CTOD specimen geometry with crack-depth ratios (a/W) of 0.50, 0.20, 0.15, 0.10, and 0.05.

Plastic zone sizes obtained from the 2-D FEA were compared at various linear-elastic and

elastic-plastic CTOD levels. The plastic zones developed based on the von Mises equivalent

stress for the five plane-strain models at applied CTOD levels of 0.0254, 0.0533, and 0.109

mm (1.00, 2.10, and 4.30 mils) are shown in Fig. 3. Plastic zones for the specimens with

crack-depth ratios of 0.05 and 0.10 extended from the crack tip to the free surface behind

the crack before a plastic hinge formed. For the specimen with a crack-depth ratio of 0.15,

the formation of a plastic hinge coincided with the plastic zone extending back to the free

surface. The specimen with an a~ W ratio of 0.20 developed a plastic hinge well before the

plastic zone extended back to the free surface. The plastic zone of the deep crack specimen

(a/W = 0.50) was contained completely in the plastic hinge region and never reached the

free surface behind the crack. The boundary between short crack and deep crack specimens

apparently occurs at an a~ W ratio of about 0.15 for this structural steel which undergoes

significant strain hardening.

This definition of short and deep crack behavior agrees with the theoretical slip-line field

discussed by Matsoukas et al. [6] and the results of several experimental studies [3-6]. The

crack depth at which the slip-line field first extends to the free surface was found to be

0.177 W (a/W = 0.177) for a rigid-plastic material. This does not imply that specimens with

a~ W ratios greater than 0.177 behave the same as deep crack (a/W = 0.50) specimens. The

plastic zone for the deep crack specimen was always confined to the hinge region and did

not extend to the back surface. Even though the plastic hinge formed before the plastic zone

reached the back surface in the specimen with a/W = 0.20, continued strain hardening of

the material caused the plastic zone to eventually reach the back surface.

Comparison of Numerical and Experimental Results

Load versus crack mouth opening displacement (CMOD) records from the plane-strain,

plane-stress, and three-dimensional finite element analyses for the square (W = 31.8 mm

(1.25 in.)) CTOD model are compared to a measured load versus CMOD record in Fig. 4.

The measured load versus CMOD record is typical of specimens tested in a temperature

range between 0~ (32~ and 21 ~ (70~ At these temperatures, the stress-strain properties

of the A36 material are similar to the room temperature tensile properties input to the finite

element model.

At equivalent CMOD levels, the plane-strain analysis provides an upper bound and the

plane-stress analysis provides a lower bound to the experimentally measured load. The

CMOD at the center plane of the three-dimensional model is plotted versus load, since it

matches the location of the CMOD measurement in the test specimen. The load-CMOD

record of the 3-D finite element model accurately predicts the experimental load-CMOD

record.

Although very good agreement is achieved between the finite element and the experimen￾tal load-CMOD records, this "global" agreement does not necessarily verify the accuracy of

predicted response in the crack tip region, specifically the CTOD. A procedure was developed

to provide a comparison between the crack opening profile predicted by the 3-D finite ele￾ment analysis and the actual crack profile.

A short crack (a/W = 0.15) test specimen was loaded well beyond plastic hinge develop￾ment to a CMOD of approximately 0.427 mm (16.8 mils) and then the load was removed.

FIG. 4--Load versus CMOD for square (31.8 by 31.8 ram) A36 steel specimens with a/W

= 0.15.

The residual plastic component of CMOD was approximately 0.366 mm (14.4 mils) as illus￾trated in Fig. 5. The specimen was cut in half longitudinally through the center plane, pol￾ished, and etched. Micrographs were taken of the crack profile at the center plane of the

unloaded specimen (Fig. 5a). These micrographs show the residual plastic displacement of

the crack profile in the unloaded specimen. The specimen was then reloaded in a special

fixture to the original CMOD of 0.427 mm (16.8 mils). Micrographs of the crack profile of

the reloaded specimen were taken and compared to the predicted crack profile (superim￾posed) at the equivalent CMOD level (Fig. 5b). The crack profile of the test specimen is

predicted very accurately by the finite element model. This comparison provides the needed

validation of the 3-D finite element modeling procedures.

CMOD-CTOD Relation

The CMOD-CTOD relation for the short crack specimen is developed from the finite ele￾ment results. Variations of the CTOD and CMOD through the thickness clearly demonstrate

the three-dimensional character of the short crack specimen. The CTOD values are taken

directly from the deformed finite element mesh using the 90* intercept method [11] at six

positions through the half-thickness of the specimen.

The CMOD-CTOD results for the full-size square specimen are shown in Fig. 6. Load step

20 and load step 24 designated on the figure show the relationship of CTOD levels and

CMOD levels through the thickness of the specimen. The CTOD remains nearly constant

over the center 70% of the specimen and then decreases significantly near the outside free

surface. The CMOD exhibits the opposite behavior. Unlike the deep crack specimen, which

has no variation of CMOD over the thickness of the specimen, the CMOD for the short crack

specimen is smallest at the center plane and increases as the outside free surface is

approached. Similar CMOD variations are observed in the laboratory specimens.

The CMOD-CTOD results of the sub-size square specimen are shown in Fig. 7. Again,

load steps 20 and 24 designated on the figure show the through-thickness relationships of
