Tóm tắt

Correlation functions of random process theory are used to intercompare available fracture toughness (K Ic) vs loading rate $$(\dot K)$$ data of three different mild steels. The analyses confirm that large fluctuations in fracture strength are dependent in an extremely sensitive yet statistically reproducible way upon $$\dot K$$ , and apparently insensitive to temperature and neutron irradiation. The emergence of a common pattern of rate sensitivityK Ic $$K_{Ic} (\dot K)$$ in these ferritic steels provides a discriminating index of strain rate in the initiation stages of the crack growth process, helpful in aligning fracture models.
