DYNAMIC CRACK PROPAGATION AND ARREST IN STRUCTURAL STEELS

This is the second of two Ship Structure Committee reports describing a three-year investigation of the crack propagation and arrest characteristics of ship-hull steels. The earlier report (SSC-242), which dealt principally with development of experimental and analytical techniques, is briefly discussed. Results are then presented for the following steels: ASTM-A517F (high strength low alloy), 9% Ni (for cryogenic service), ABS-C and ABS-E (two plates, one of which is high strength and designated EH).
