Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens and big compact specimens with low toughness. In the case of monotonical K ...

Abstract: A crack arrest test was carried out using a toughness gradient steel plate with three layers to study the concept of crack arrest toughness. Four-point bending load with thermal shock was ...

Abstract: Fracture tests for the verification of WPS (warm prestressing) effect were carried out by using large flat specimens with very low toughness. Tensile and bending loads and thermal shock were ...
