Abstract: With the emergence of readily available simple J solutions for various types of structures through J estimation techniques, J -integral-based elastic-plastic fracture mechanics has become a common ...

Abstract: The master curve method has recently been developed to determine fracture toughness in the brittle-to-ductile transition range. This method was successfully applied to numerous fracture toughness ...

Abstract: The failure assessment diagram approach, an elastic-plastic fracture mechanics procedure based on the J -integral concept, was used in the evaluation of pressure-temperature (P-T) limits for the ...
