      <title>STATIC AND DYNAMIC FRACTURE TOUGHNESS OF 9% NI STEEL</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/60001</link>
      <description><![CDATA[The paper describes an investigation of the toughness properties of 9%Ni steel at loading rates occurring in ship structures.  Dynamic properties have been lacking, and it has been the aim of this investigation to compare the dynamic and static fracture toughness for a large number of production heats.  The investigation demonstrated that the fracture toughness at - 196 degree C of 9%Ni steel is not impaired by high strain rates.  This is of importance when this steel is used in shipbuilding in tanks for the transportation of LNG, as dynamic stresses may occur in the tank system because of wave-induced loads through the interaction between the hull and the tank and the cargo sloshing about in partially filled tanks.  In the construction of independent LNG ship tanks to the 'leak-before-failure' principle, it is a requirement that the critical crack sizes should be evaluated for realistic loading rates.]]></description>

      <title>DYNAMIC TOUGHNESS DETERMINATION IN DUCTILE MATERIALS</title>
      <link>https://trid.trb.org/View/60002</link>
      <description><![CDATA[A test technique involving dynamic fracture of specimens, precracked by various amounts, allows estimates to be made of ductile fracture propagation energy.  This technique eliminates extraneous energy losses which are the cause of specimen size dependence when conventional measurements of fracture energy are made.  There is no simple relationship between fracture propagation energy and the total energy from conventional fracture tests.  Although Charpy energy values up to about 70J reflect the fracture propagation resistance, increases in Charpy value above this level do not appear to be accompanied by significant improvements in ductile fracture propagation resistance.  There is no simple relationship between ductile fracture propagation resistance and material thickness.]]></description>
