Abstract
Based on a large experimental sample, the influence of stress triaxiality and temperature have been studied on the growth of micro voids and the ductile/brittle transition (DBT) of 40 Cr steel. Ductile and brittle fractures have been investigated simultaneously. The experiments show that the ductile fracture is controlled by the micro void mechanism, and the critical void growth ratio can be used as the criterion of ductile fracture. The brittle fracture is modeled by an embedded penny crack, and a micro stress intensity with a characteristic length can be used as the criterion of the brittle fracture. The DBT is the result of the competition of the two mechanisms. Which exists in the fracture of all specimens simultaneously. The distributions of model parameters were measured experimentally. A random model and a random-fuzzy model for DBT were presented. The comparison between the calculated and experimental results shows that the random-fuzzy model can model the DBT satisfactorily.
