ASTM E 1823:
Standard Terminology Relating to Fatigue and Fracture Testing
Crack extension, Δa – an increase in crack size.
Crack-extension force, G – the elastic energy per unit of new separation area that is made
available at the front of an ideal crack in an elastic solid during a virtual increment of
forward crack extension.
Crack-extension resistance, K R , G R of J R – a measure of the resistance of a material to crack
extension expressed in terms of the stress-intensity factor, K; crack-extension force, G ;
or values of J derived using the J-integral concept.
Crack-mouth opening displacement (CMOD), 2v m – the Mode I (also called openingmode)
component of crack displacement resulting from the total deformation (elastic
plus plastic), measured under force at the location on a crack surface that has the
greatest elastic displacement per unit force.
Crack-tip opening displacement (CTOD), δ – the crack displacement resulting from the
total deformation (elastic plus plastic) at variously defined locations near the original
(prior to force application) crack tip.
Crack-tip plane strain – a stress-strain field (near the crack tip) that approaches plane strain
to a degree required by an empirical criterion.
Crack-tip plane stress – a stress-strain field (near the crack tip) that is not in plane strain.
Fracture toughness – a generic term for measures of resistance to extension of a crack.
J-R curve – a plot of resistance to stable crack extension, Δa p .
Plane-strain fracture toughness, K Ic – the crack-extension resistance under conditions of
crack-tip plane strain in Mode I for slow rates of loading under predominantly linearelastic
conditions and negligible plastic-zone adjustment. The stress intensity factor,
K Ic , is measured using the operational procedure (and satisfying all of the validity
requirements) specified in Test Method E 399, that provides for the measurement of
crack-extension resistance at the onset (2% or less) of crack extension and provides
operational definitions of crack-tip sharpness, onset of crack-extension, and crack-tip
plane strain.
Plane-strain fracture toughness, J Ic – the crack-extension resistance under conditions of
crack-tip plane strain in Mode I with slow rates of loading and substantial plastic
deformation. The J-integral, J Ic , is measured using the operational procedure (and
satisfying all of the validity requirements) specified in Test Method E 1820, that
provides for the measurement of crack-extension resistance near the onset of stable
crack extension.
R curve – a plot of crack-extension resistance as a function of stable crack extension, Δa p or
Δa e .
Stable crack extension – a displacement-controlled crack extension beyond the stretch-zone
width. The extension stops when the applied displacement is held constant.
