The Weibull Stress Parameters Calibration upon the Toughness Scaling Model between Cracks Having Different Constraint
Kozák, Vladislav ; Vlček, Libor
An extensive investigation has been carried out on the sensitivity parameters determination describing the fracture behaviour of body with crack with respect to the character change of true stress-strain curve with dominant region of Lueders deformation.Consequently,its convenient substitution has been tested.This paper presents the consideration on the change judgement of J-integral and constraint as the base parameters of two-parameters fracture mechanics.The Weibull stress model for cleavage fracture of cast steel requires calibration of two micromechanics parameters (m,ó u).Weibull stress seems to be a parameter for prediction of cleavage failure of cracked bodies and the study is focused on the assessment of the effects of constraint loss on cleavage fracture toughness (Jc).To quantify the effects of constraint variation on the cleavage fracture toughness the form of the toughness-scaling model based on the Weibull stress ó w is investigated.Local material parameters have been calculated arising from Beremin approach and calibration is based on various approaches.Methods are based on weakest link assumption and incremental fracture probability,which depends not only on the maximum principal stress,but also on the equivalent plastic strain.The fracture resistance has been assessed using data from static tests of there point bend specimens.

Evaluation of Strain Rate Effects on Transition Behaviour Applying the Master Curve Methodology
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Kohout, J. ; Jurášek, Ladislav ; Holzmann, Miloslav
Master curve methodology has been used for an evaluation of strain rate effects on transition behaviour of wrought CrMo and cast ferritic C Mn steel.The physical aspects of strain rate effect on reference temperature has been analysed as a base for the prediction of this dependence.Statistical aspects of the strain rate effects on the master curve have been discussed showing capability of the method for the prediction of strain rate susceptibility of steel fracture behaviour. It has been experimentally proved that the master curve shape does not depend on the loading rate.The relationship between reference temperature T0 (or the shift of T0 with respect to quasi-static loading rate)and loading rate can be described with linear dependence if logarithmic scale of temporal change of stress intensity factor is considered.For experimental establishing of the dependence of reference temperature on loading rates only two T0 values as determined at different loading rates are sufficient.However,it is useful to achieve the comparable accuracy of both T0 determinations that may demand larger number of specimens for the measurement of T0 at the higher loading rate.Standard quasistatic fracture toughness has been predicted from small pre-cracked Charpy type specimens tested dynamically applying the reference temperature shift obtained experimentally.The predicted fracture toughness temperature diagram has been proved experimentally.

Bainitic steel for frogs of rail switches - development and properties
Dlouhý, Ivo ; Zbořil, J. ; Holzmann, Miloslav
Mechanical properties and fracture behaviour of newly developed cast bainitic steel Lo8CrNiMo, predetermined for the frogs of rail switches, has been investigated. Properties of rail steel of the type UIC 900A has been followed for comparison. According to characteristics obtained steel Lo8CrNiMo displays much better fracture resistance when compared to standard rail steel. Dynamic fracture toughness is the same as static fracture toughness. This finding has great practical importance with respect to dynamic loading to frog.
