“…Since the sizes of the cleavage-initiating inclusions in the highly stressed test volume may possibly vary from specimen to specimen, a degree of scatter in F values could potentially be expected at any given temperature. For the as-received condition, similar values of F have been obtained for C-Mn weld metals (McRobie, 1985) and for a wrought mild steel (Lin et al, 1986b).…”

“…Specifically, it has been reported that particle cracking is more prevalent in composites with higher particle volume fractions (Kumai et al, 1991). The lower fracture toughness values at larger particle sizes are a result of an increased likelihood of particle cracking (Evans, 1990;Lin et al, 1986). Although crack penetration through a particle requires a higher instantaneous K value than crack growth through interfacial debonding, particle cracking usually signifies immediate catastrophic failure.…”

“…However, in at least two cases, r à was approximately constant up to temperatures of %100°C [31,42]. Interpretation of these results is complicated by the fact that the r à , or corresponding statistical model Weibull strength parameters, are different for blunt notches compared to the A à -V à cleavage criterion for cracks [39,40,66]. Cracks have higher, but more spatially localized, distributions of r n compared to the notches with lower but more broadly distributed stress fields.…”

scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
