Effect of notch shape on the fracture toughness behavior by Jiseung Lee, Wonjun Jo, Junseok Seo, Gyubaek An

“…In temperature-dependent tests, CTOD values consistently decreased as the temperature decreased, with EDM notches exhibiting a lower rate of fracture toughness reduction compared to fatigue pre-cracks, which is attributed to differences in the degree of stress concentration. Scanning electron microscopy analysis of the fracture surfaces revealed the reason for significant differences in CTOD values and fracture behaviors between fatigue pre-crack and EDM notches, particularly at −140 °C, a temperature below the ductile to brittle transition temperature. …”
