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 ...

In general, the larger the value of Fracture Toughness, the larger the fatigue crack that can be tolerated before triggering a fracture. It is worth noting here that a crack tolerated on a warm summer ...

The Batelle two-curve method of fracture-arrest prediction for X70 and X80 high toughness steels requires correction factors based on the steel’s grade and toughness level. Oct. 20, 2008 13 min read ...

Researchers at Princeton University have developed a new type of concrete that is 17 times tougher and 19 times more flexible ...
