Study Notes

Fracture Toughness

Fracture toughness is the ability of a material to resist fracture when a crack is present
It is a measure of a material's resistance to crack propagation

Units of Fracture Toughness

The units of fracture toughness are typically measured in MPa√m (megapascals square root meters) or psi√in (pounds per square inch square root inches)

Y Parameter in Fracture Toughness Expression

The Y parameter is a dimensionless constant that depends on the specimen geometry and the crack configuration
It is used to relate the stress intensity factor to the applied load and crack length

Condition of Plane Strain

Plane strain is a condition where the material is constrained to deform in a two-dimensional plane
This occurs when the material is thick enough to prevent deformation in the direction perpendicular to the plane of the crack

Influential Factor on Plane Strain Fracture Toughness

The most influential factor on plane strain fracture toughness is the thickness of the material
