Abstract
Determination of fracture toughness and fatigue crack growth behavior are important parameters of structural materials. These parameters can be used to predict their life, service reliability and operational safety in different conditions. This experiment is design to illustrate how strength in the presence of cracks-termed fracture toughness-is characterized and measured.
In the present work, The Plain strain fracture toughness of Al-alloy A384 is determined. Tests were carried out on universal testing machine (Axial Fatigue Testing Machine) using compact tension specimens under mode I loading condition according to ASTM E399. The experiment results from fracture toughness test are then validated with analytical calculations and it is observed that, For Al-alloy A384 material a moderate fracture toughness value is obtained.
Keywords- Fracture toughness, Fatigue crack growth, Mode I loading, Al-alloy A384, Plain strain condition
