1、Designation: E1820 131E1820 15Standard Test Method forMeasurement of Fracture Toughness1This standard is issued under the fixed designation E1820; the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or, in the case of revision, the year of last revision. A number
2、in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval. Asuperscript epsilon () indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1 NOTESections A6.2.2 and A6.3.2 were editorially revised in May 2015.1. Scope1.1 This test method covers procedures and guidelines for the determination
3、of fracture toughness of metallic materials usingthe following parameters: K, J, and CTOD (). Toughness can be measured in the R-curve format or as a point value. The fracturetoughness determined in accordance with this test method is for the opening mode (Mode I) of loading.NOTE 1Until this version
4、, KIc could be evaluated using this test method as well as by using Test Method E399. To avoid duplication, the evaluationof KIc has been removed from this test method and the user is referred to Test Method E399.1.2 The recommended specimens are single-edge bend, SE(B), compact, C(T), and disk-shap
5、ed compact, DC(T). Allspecimens contain notches that are sharpened with fatigue cracks.1.2.1 Specimen dimensional (size) requirements vary according to the fracture toughness analysis applied. The guidelines areestablished through consideration of material toughness, material flow strength, and the
6、individual qualification requirements ofthe toughness value per values sought.1.3 The values stated in SI units are to be regarded as the standard. The values given in parentheses are for information only.1.4 This standard does not purport to address all of the safety concerns, if any, associated wi
7、th its use. It is the responsibilityof the user of this standard to establish appropriate safety and health practices and determine the applicability of regulatorylimitations prior to use.NOTE 2Other standard methods for the determination of fracture toughness using the parameters K, J, and CTOD are
