Summary of Test Method4.1 The objective of this standard is to induce stable crack extension in a fatigue pre-cracked, low-constr
39、aint test specimen whilemonitoring and measuring the COD at the original fatigue pre-crack tip pre-crack-tip location (4, 5) or the CTOA (or CTOD) at1-mm behind the stably tearing crack tip (6, 7), or both. The resistance curve associated with the 5 measurements and the criticallimiting value of the
40、 CTOA measurements are used to characterize the corresponding resistance to stable crack extension. Incontrast, the CTOD values determined from Test Method E1290 (high-constraint bend specimens) are values at one or more crackextension events, such as the CTOD at the onset of brittle crack extension
41、 with no significant stable crack extension.4.2 Either of the fatigue pre-cracked, low-constraint test specimen configurations specified in this standard (C(T)C(T) orM(T)M(T) may be used to measure or calculate either of the fracture resistance parameters considered. The fracture resistanceparameter
42、s, CTOA (or CTOD) and 5, may be characterized using either a single-specimen or multiple-specimen procedure. In allcases, tests are performed by applying slowly increasing displacements to the test specimen and measuring the forces,displacements, crack extension and angles realized during the test.
43、The forces, displacements and angles are then used inconjunction with certain pre-test and post-test specimen measurements to determine the materials resistance to stable crackextension.4.3 Four procedures for measuring crack extension are: surface visual, unloading compliance, electrical potential,
44、 and multiplespecimens.4.4 Two techniques are presented for measuring CTOA: optical microscopy (OM) (8) and digital image correlation (DIC) (9).4.5 Three techniques are presented for measuring COD: 5 clip gage (5), optical microscopy (OM) (8), and digital imagecorrelation (DIC) (9).E2472 1234.6 Data

Significance and Use5.1 This test method characterizes
46、a metallic materials resistance to stable crack extension in terms of crack-tip-opening angle(CTOA), and/or crack-opening displacement (COD), 5 under the laboratory or application environment of interest. This methodapplies specifically to fatigue pre-cracked specimens that exhibit low constraint an
47、d that are tested under slowly increasingdisplacement.5.2 When conducting fracture tests, the user must consider the influence that the loading rate and laboratory environment mayhave on the fracture parameters. The user should perform a literature review to determine if loading rate effects have be
48、en observedpreviously in the material at the specific temperature and environment being tested. The user should document specific informationpertaining to their material, loading rates, temperature, and environment (relative humidity) for each test.5.3 The results of this characterization include th
