The paper presents theoretical and numerical aspects of the two-parameter JA approach in
elastic-plastic fracture mechanics in connection with crack-tip constraint. This approach is …

Analyzing the structural integrity of ferritic steel structures subjected to large temperature
variations requires the collection of the fracture toughness (KJ c) of ferritic steels in the …

Fracture toughness is a key parameter in the structure integrity assessment for pressure
vessels. Several experiments must be performed to obtain the accurate fracture toughness …

In this paper, a new method for scaling the crack-tip stress distribution under small-scale
yielding conditions is proposed and named the T-scaling method. This method enables …

The fracture toughness KJ c of a material in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature
(DBTT) region shows a large temperature dependence, large scatter, and specimen …

This paper examined whether the modified Ritchie‐Knott‐Rice (RKR) failure criterion can be
applied to examine the feasibility of miniaturized Charpy type SE (B) specimens of thickness …

In this work, applicability of the modified Ritchie-Knott-Rice (RKR) failure criterion (which
predicts the onset of cleavage fracture when the crack opening stress measured at four …

The effectiveness of the improved Ritchie-Knott-Rice failure criterion ((4δ t, σ22c) local
fractures criterion) for converting the minimum fracture toughness value of different …

This doctoral Thesis explores the use of mini-C (T) specimens, previously validated in
nuclear steels, to characterize the fracture behavior of structural steels used in civil …

A spreadsheet-based simplified and direct toughness scaling method to predict the
temperature dependence of fracture toughness J c in the ductile-to-brittle transition …
