Effect of specimen size on fracture toughness of mild steel

This project was conducted to investigate the effect of specimen size on fracture toughness of mild steel. Fracture toughness is an indication of the amount of stress required to propagate a pre-existing flaw. It is a very important material property since the occurrence of flaws is not completely a...

description This project was conducted to investigate the effect of specimen size on fracture toughness of mild steel. Fracture toughness is an indication of the amount of stress required to propagate a pre-existing flaw.

In this experiment, the specimen size was chosen as a main parameter to analyse the fracture toughness of mild steel. The specimen size was divided into two parameter to be investigated, there is thickness and notch depth of the specimen.
