Abstract

A centre-notched small size tension test specimen was developed to evaluate the toughness against unstable brittle fracture from fatigue crack, which is initiated and propagated from the surface of the butt-welded joints Qof heavy-thick steel plates. Centre-notched small size tension test specimens were made from butt-welded joints of 70 mm heavy-thick steel plates and employed for the tests using this plate thickness as the specimen width. In this paper, the test results are evaluated and investigated.
