Abstract

Abstract Ductile fracture toughness testing is useful for evaluating a material’s structural integrity. This article briefly reviews three widely used J-integral vs. crack growth resistance (J-R) curve test methods for metals: elastic unloading compliance, normalization, and direct current potential drop. The J-Integral calculation is the same in all three methods, with differences primarily involving crack size measurements.
