The other three parts of BS 7448 are as follows: Part 2: Method for determination of K Ic , critical CTOD or J values of welds in metallic materials; Part 3: Method for determination of dynamic toughness 2) ; Part 4: Meth
21、od for determination of fracture resistance curves and initiation values for stable crack extension in metallic materials. It has been assumed in the drafting of this standard that the execution of its provisions is entrusted to appropriately qualified and experienced people. Safety note. It is impo
22、rtant to note that tests of the type described involve the use of large forces, and may involve the rapid movement of machine parts and fractured test specimens. Therefore it is important to consider the safety of machine operators. A British Standard does not purport to include all the necessary pr
23、ovisions of a contract. Users of British Standards are responsible for their correct application. Compliance with a British Standard does not of itself confer immunity from legal obligations.

25、 blankBS 7448-1:1991 BSI 27 February 2002 1 1 Scope This part of BS 7448 specifies a method for determining the opening mode plane strain fracture toughness (K Ic ), the critical crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) fracture toughness, and the critical J fracture toughness of metallic materials. Th
26、e method uses fatigue precracked specimens. These are tested in displacement controlled monotonic loading at a constant rate of increase in stress intensity factor within the range 0.5 MPam 0.5 s 1to 3.0 MPam 0.5 s 1 3)during the initial elastic deformation. The specimens are loaded to fracture or t
27、he maximum force associated with plastic collapse. The method is especially appropriate to materials that exhibit a change from ductile to brittle behaviour with decreasing temperature. No other influences of environment are covered. The definition of fracture toughness values relevant to particular
28、 structural integrity assessments is outside the scope of this British Standard. NOTE 1 The titles of the publications referred to in this standard are listed on the inside back cover. NOTE 2 Numbers in square brackets in the text refer to numbered items in the Bibliography in Appendix A. NOTE 3 Thi
29、s British Standard does not cover the determination of K Icalone. Such determinations are covered in BS EN ISO 12737. 2 Definitions For the purposes of this part of BS 7448 the following definitions apply. 2.1 stress intensity factor (K) the magnitude of the stress field near the crack tip (a stress
30、-field singularity) for a particular mode (see 2.2) in a homogeneous, ideally linear-elastic body NOTE It is a function of applied force, crack length and specimen geometry, and is expressed in units of MPam 0.5 . 2.2 opening mode opening displacement of the surfaces of a crack in a direction normal

32、s applied 2.4 maximum fatigue stress intensity factor (K f ) the maximum value of opening mode stress intensity factor which is applied during the final stages of fatigue crack extension 2.5 crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) the displacement of the surfaces of a crack normal to the original (und
33、eformed) crack plane at the tip of the fatigue precrack, expressed in mm 2.6 critical CTOD a value of CTOD associated with a particular type of crack extension (see clause 3) 2.7 J-integral a mathematical expression for a line or surface integral that encloses the crack front from one crack surface

36、2) NOTE In true displacement control the crack extension usually stops when the applied displacement is held constant. 2.12 stretch zone width (SZW) the length of crack extension that occurs during crack tip blunting; that is, prior to the onset of brittle crack extension, pop-in (see 2.13) or slow
37、stable crack extension, and which occurs in the same plane as the fatigue precrack 2.13 pop-in a discontinuity in the force versus displacement record NOTE The pop-in corresponds to a sudden increase in displacement, and, generally, a sudden decrease in force. Subsequently, the displacement and forc
38、e increase relatively slowly to above their respective values at pop-in (see 9.1). 3 Symbols and designations For the purposes of this part of BS 7448 the following symbols and designations apply. a nominal crack length (see Figure 2 to Figure 6) or, for the purposes of fatigue precracking (see 6.4.
