STP1189-EB/Sep. 1993
Overview
The National Symposium on Fracture Mechanics has evolved, since its beginnings in 1965,
into an annual forum for the exchange of ideas related to the fracture of engineering materials.
The Twenty-Third National Symposium carried on this tradition and was held in College Station,Texas, on 18-20 June 1991. The symposium was sponsored by ASTM Committee E24
on Fracture Testing, with the cooperation and support of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University.
The diversity of interests and the wide range of problem areas in which fracture mechanics
can play a role in ensuring structural integrity was reflected in the topic areas that were
addressed in the 63 papers that were presented at the symposium. The symposium drew I l0
attendees from 18 countries around the world, highlighting the strong international flavor that
the National Symposium and ASTM's fracture-related activities have acquired over the years.
The efforts of the authors of the manuscripts submitted for publication and the diligence of
the persons entrusted with the task of peer-reviewing these submittals have resulted in the compilation of papers that appear in this volume. These papers represent a broad overview of the
current state of the art in fracture mechanics research and should serve as a timely recording
of advances in basic understanding, as a compilation of the latest test procedures and results,
as the basis of new insights and approaches that would be of value to designers and practitioners, and as a stimulus to future research.
The volume opens with the paper by Dr. John M. Barsom, who delivered the Second
Annual Jerry L. Swedlow Memorial Lecture at this symposium. Barsom's presentation
addressed the need for a better understanding of the basic issues involved in several different
structural applications of fracture mechanics technology. As such, it serves as a road map for
future directions and is a highly appropriate tribute to the memory of the individual who
played a very important role in shaping the National Symposium into the forum that it is
today.
Following the Swedlow Lecture are forty-five papers that have been broadly grouped into
seven topical areas, based on the main theme of each paper. These groupings are, however,
only intended as an aid to the reader, since no classification can ever be absolute. Topics of
interest to a particular reader will therefore be found throughout this volume, and the reader
is encouraged to consult the Index for the location of topics of specific interest.
The groupings that have been adopted are detailed next and are similar to the broad categories that were used to divide the presentations into coherent topical sessions at the symposium itself. The first group of nine papers addresses analytical and constraint-related issues in
elastic-plastic fracture mechanics, with much of the emphasis being on topics related to transition range behavior. The next section of seven papers also deals with elastic-plastic fracture,
but emphasizes applications. Following this are two sections that both address linear-elastic
fracture mechanics, with a group of three papers emphasizing analytical aspects, and a group
of four papers that are more applications oriented. Subcritical crack growth and nondestructive evaluation methods are the joint themes of the next group of eight papers. Following this
are eleven papers addressing the fracture of composites and nonmetals, a topic area that is
receiving increasing attention from the fracture community and which had significant repreCopyright by ASTM Int'l (all rights reserved); Wed Dec 23 19:12:57 EST 2015 Copyright* 1993 by ASTM International www.astm.org

sentation at a National Symposium for the first time. Finally, a grouping of three papers dealing with probabilistic and dynamic issues closes out this volume.
In addition to the technical program, a highlight of the symposium was the presentation by
Dr. George R. Irwin of the 1991 medal named in his honor to Dr. Hugo A. Ernst of the Georgia
Institute of Technology, and the presentation by Dr. C. Michael Hudson, Chairman of Committee E24, of the 1991 Award of Merit and designation of Fellow of ASTM to Dr. Richard
P. Gangloff of the University of Virginia.
The Symposium Organizing Committee consisting of Prof. T. L Anderson, Prof. R. Chona,
Dr. J. P. Gudas, Dr. W. S. Johnson, Jr., Prof. V, K. Kinra, Prof. J. D. Landes, Mr. J. G. Merkle,
Prof. R. J. Sanford, and Mr. E. T. Wessel are pleased to have been a part of this very significant
technical activity. The committee and the symposium chairman in particular would like to
express their appreciation of the support received from the authors of the various papers presented at the symposium; of the thoroughness of the peer-reviewers who have played a major
role in ensuring the technical quality and archival nature of the contents of this publication,
of the efforts by various ASTM staffto help make the symposium and this volume a success,
particularly Mr. P. J. Barr, Ms. L. Hanson, Ms. H. M. Hoersch, Ms. M. T. Pravitz, Ms. D.
Savini, and Ms. N. Sharkey; and of the support, encouragement, and assistance extended by
Prof. W. L. Bradley, Head of the Department of Mechanical Engineering at Texas A&M University. Finally, the symposium chairman would like to especially thank Ms. Katherine A.
Bedford, Staff Assistant at Texas A&M University, for all her contributions during the planning of the symposium and the preparation of this volume.

Structural Problems in Search of Fracture
Mechanics Solutions*
REFERENCE: Barsom, J. M., "Structural Problems in Search of Fracture Mechanics Solutions," Fracture Mechanics: Twenty- Third Symposium, ASTM STP 1189, Ravinder Chona, Ed.,

ABSTRACT: This second Jerry L. Swedlow Memorial Lecture presents a few significant developments in fracture mechanics that occurred over the past 25 years and some unresolved problems relating to materials and design and to technology transfer and education. Examples of
some accomplishments and problems needing solutions are presented in areas of fracture toughness, including elastic, elastic-plastic and short cracks, and of environmental effects.
Professor Jerry L. Swedlow was an educator and a researcher who devoted his career to the
transfer of technology to his students and to scientists and engineers. Thus, the lecture appropriately concludes with a few observations, needs, and recommendations concerning technology
transfer.
KEY WORDS: fracture mechanics, fatigue (materials)
It is an honor and a privilege to present the second Swedlow Memorial Lecture. Jerry was a
colleague with whom I worked closely on several projects. He was a neighbor whose children
and mine spent several years playing and growing up together. Above all, Jerry was a friend
whom I think of frequently and I miss terribly. I thank the National Symposium Committee
for inviting me to make this presentation.
Although Jerry Swedlow's publications were concentrated in the analytical aspect of fracture mechanics, his interests spanned all facets of the technology. He was very interested in
applying fracture mechanics to practical problems and toiled hard as a professor and as chairman of the National Symposium on Fracture Mechanics to transfer the available knowledge
to others. Jerry and others' contributions to the analytical aspects of fracture and some of the
unresolved analytical problems have been presented by M. L. Williams [ 1] in the first Jerry L.
Swedlow Memorial Lecture. This second lecture presents a few significant fracture mechanics
developments that occurred over the past 25 years and some unresolved problems relating to
materials and design and to technology transfer and education.
Materials and Design Considerations
The application of national and international specifications results in safe and reliable engineering structures. These specifications are continually being updated and should reflect the
most current knowledge in a given field. Incorrect use and violation of the requirements of the
specifications may result in failure of a component or an entire structure. Also, because specifications present minimum requirements, the need for additional requirements must be

investigated for new and improved designs, for use of new materials, for use of common matedais in new and unique applications, and for any other nontraditional situation. Such an
investigation should occur early in the design process, at which time the responsible engineer
should obtain and incorporate the needed additional requirements.
Technical developments during the past 20 years resulted in significantly improved characterization of the behavior and performance of steel structures. These developments include
understanding and prediction of the effects of temperature and rate of loading on fracture
toughness, the fatigue crack initiation and propagation behavior of fabricated components
under constant and variable amplitude loading, and corrosion fatigue crack initiation and
propagation behavior of constructional steels in aqueous environments [2]. Some of these
developments have been incorporated in specifications for bridges [2,3].
Although significant progress has occurred during the past 25 years, further technical
accomplishments are needed to improve the safety, reliability, and economy of steel structures. Predictive models are needed to identify fatigue-crack initiation sites and unstable crack
extension in weldments where large variations in mechanical properties and microstructure
occur in neighboring small regions. Analytical and experimental procedures are needed to
characterize the fatigue and fracture, behavior of short cracks where traditional fracture
mechanics analyses for deep cracks are not valid. Plant-life extension methodologies should
be developed to predict the remaining life of plant components. Other problems exist for
which solutions are needed and where fracture mechanics technology can contribute significantly. The following sections present some accomplishments and problems needing solutions
in the areas of fracture toughness, including elastic, elastic-plastic, and short cracks and of
environmental effects.
Linear Elastic Fracture-Toughness Characterization
Most constructional steels can fracture either in a ductile or in a brittle manner. The mode
of fracture is governed by the temperature at fracture, the rate at which the load is applied, and
the magnitude of the constraints that prevent plastic deformation. The effects of these parameters on the mode of fracture are reflected in the fracture-toughness behavior of the material.
In general, the fracture toughness increases with increasing temperature, decreasing load rate
and decreasing constraint. Furthermore there is no single unique fracture-toughness value for
a given steel even at a fixed temperature and loading rate.
The increase of fracture toughness with temperature is shown in Fig. 1 for Charpy V-notch
(CVN) specimens and in Fig. 2 for plane-strain critical stress intensity factor, Kxc, specimens
[2,4]. The data in Fig. 2 also show the shift of the fracture-toughness transition curve to higher
temperature as the rate of loading increases.
From a failure analysis point of view, the fracture-toughness value for the material may be
used to calculate the critical crack size at fracture under a given applied stress, or the magnitude
of the stress at fracture for a given critical crack size. However, it is essential that the fracturetoughness value be determined at the fracture temperature and at the appropriate loading rate
for the structural component of interest. A low dynamic fracture toughness [7 J for example,
(5 ft. lbf)] at the fracture temperature does not necessarily mean that the steel did not possess
adequate fracture toughness under slow loading conditions, Similarly, cleavage features at a
short distance from the initiation site do not necessarily mean that the steel was brittle under
slow loading conditions. Unfortunately, misunderstanding these simple and basic observations has resulted in erroneous analyses of fractures.
The Charpy V-notch impact specimen continues to be the most widely used specimen for
characterizing the fracture-toughness behavior of steels. These specimens are. routinely tested
for many failures regardless of the relevance of the test results to the particular investigation.

FIG. 1--Charpy V-notch test results for a low-carbon steel.
Furthermore, the steel is usually characterized as brittle and not having sufficient fracture
toughness for its intended application if it exhibits Charpy V-notch values below about 20 J
(15 ft. lbf) at the fracture temperature. The characterization is made without regard for the
difference in loading rate between the test and the structure.
The static and dynamic (impact) fracture-toughness behavior for constructional steels can
be understood by considering the fracture toughness transition curves, Fig. 3 [2,4,5]. The shift
(that is, distance along the temperature axis) between the static and impact fracture-toughness
transition curves depends on the yield strength of the steel, Fig. 4 [2,4,5]. Thus, the static and
impact fracture-toughness transition curves are represented by a single curve for steels having
yield strengths higher than about 897 MPa (130 ksi). On the other hand, the shift between these
curves is about 71 ~ (160~ for a 248 MPa (36 ksi) yield strength steel.
The fracture-toughness curve for either static or dynamic loading can be divided into three
regions as shown in Fig. 3. In Regions I, and Ia for the static and dynamic curves, respectively,
the steel exhibits a low fracture-toughness value.
In Regions II, and IIa, the fracture toughness to initiate unstable crack propagation under
static and dynamic loading, respectively, increases with increasing temperature. In Regions
Ills and Ilia, the static and dynamic fracture toughness, respectively, reach a constant uppershelf value.
