Abstract
AbstractVarious methods for direct and indirect determination of LLD and CMOD were used to determine J from SENB specimens in three different steels. The influence of the displacement measurement on J is discussed, and shows that the values of J using LLD determined from clip gauge methods to the ASTM E1820 or ISO 12135 standards are consistent with values of J determined from CMOD (either directly or using clip gauge methods), as defined in ASTM E1820. From this work it is recommended that standard methods such as ISO 12135 should permit load‐CMOD and load‐LLD as alternative methods to determine J. Methods to determine LLD by corrections to the ram displacement were also shown to be effective in determining J, for applications where the use of clip gauges may be challenging, such as fracture toughness testing in sour environments, dynamic tests, or testing at very high temperature.
