TO EVALUATE THE DYNAMIC DUCTILE FRACTURE OF PIPELINE STEELS BY USING INSTRUMENTED DROP WEIGHT TEAR TEST by FANG Jian, SHEN Wei, WANG Lei

“…As to monitor the crack behavior after crack initiation directly from an instrument load-displacement curve,the linear correlation between the limit load and the square of remaining ligament width has been confirmed by applying a huge 40 k J instrumented pendulum machine onto standard pressed-notch API X80 DWTT specimens and employing key curve method,which also provides an experimental way to determine the material based parameter of A*σf,required by other CTOACestimation algorithm. As a result,in spite of the difference in the dynamic load endurance and energy consumption between full-scale and thickness-reduction sample plates,the evolution tendency of CTOA during ductile cracking are similar to each other. …”
