Abstract

Mixed mode ductile fractures in thin sheets are shown to be possible. The staggered deep edge notch tension specimen enables Jp, the plane stress propagation value of the J integral, and d J/dα, the rate of increase in J with crack growth to be measured from the specific work of fracture. The J integral can also be separated into its two component modes J1 and Jn. For the particular low alloy steel tested Jp is virtually independent of the mode of fracture, but for other materials Jp may be dependent on the fracture mode.
