During the 1970s, fracture toughness testing of composite materials developed a very poor reputation, primarily due to failed attempts to directly adopt metals theory and corresponding test methods.

Although well-accepted fracture toughness test methods are available for composite materials, the same cannot be said for sandwich composites. In fact, considerably less attention has been given to ...

EPRI’s testing technique for evaluating fracture toughness behavior through small punch testing has been exercised to determine if a 60-plus year old low pressure steam turbine rotor has been ...

This video provides a complete explanation on how to perform a fracture toughness test to assess resistance to fatigue pre-crack. Huntsman operates an ISO 17025 accredited testing facility for ...

The study of fracture toughness and cleavage fracture in ferritic steels is central to understanding the reliability and safety of structural components employed in a variety of industries, including ...

Fracture toughness is a critical measure of a material's ability to resist crack propagation in the presence of pre-existing flaws. Resistance curve (J–R curve) analysis, employing parameters such as ...

A key property in the majority of engineering applications is a material’s fracture toughness. In order to measure the fracture toughness of low volume materials fracture tests should be carried out a ...
