J-integral estimation method according to KANAZAWA (K)

Basic assumption of the estimation method

J-integral estimation methods are used for the determination of fracture mechanics values according to the J-integral concept [1].

In the J-integral evaluation method according to Kanazawa [2–4], a complementary deformation energy A_K is introduced to determine J_I^K values. He modified the calculation approach according to RICE, since RICE obtained too small J values for small crack lengths. KANAZAWA derived a correction function for this.

$J_{I}^{K}={\frac {c_{1}A_{G}+c_{2}A_{K}-c_{3}A_{0}}{B(W-a)}}$

with $c_{1}=2;\ c_{2}=\alpha ({\frac {W-a}{W}});\ c_{3}=2+\alpha ({\frac {W-a}{W}})$

Thus, the J value generally results in:

$J_{I}^{K}={\frac {2}{B(W-a)}}(A_{G}-A_{0})+{\frac {\alpha }{BW}}(F_{max}f_{max}-A_{G}-A_{0})$

Determination equation for Single-Edge-Notched Bend (SENB) specimen

For the specific case of the SENB test specimen, the following then applies:

$J_{Id}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[({\frac {2}{W-a}}-{\frac {\alpha }{W}})A_{G}+{\frac {\alpha }{W}}(F_{max}f_{max})-({\frac {2}{W-a}}+{\frac {\alpha }{W}})A_{0}\right]$

with: A_K = F_max f_max − A_G as complementary deformation energy

for 0 < a/W < 1 and

$\alpha ={\frac {f^{2}({\frac {a}{W}})}{\int _{0}^{\frac {a}{W}}f^{2}({\frac {a}{W}})d({\frac {a}{W}})}}-{\frac {2}{1-{\frac {a}{W}}}}$

The significance of α for the determination of fracture-mechanical parameters with the aid of three-point bending test specimens can be derived from the graphical representation in Fig. 2 using the corresponding geometry function f(a/W) from Tada [6].

$f({\frac {a}{W}})=2.9({\frac {a}{W}})^{\frac {1}{2}}-4.6({\frac {a}{W}})^{\frac {3}{2}}+21.8({\frac {a}{W}})^{\frac {5}{2}}-37.6({\frac {a}{W}})^{\frac {7}{2}}+38.7({\frac {a}{W}})^{\frac {9}{2}}$

Determination equation for Compact Tension (CT) specimen

The following determination equations apply to the CT-specimen:

$J_{Ic}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[{\frac {1}{(W-a)}}A_{G}+({\frac {\alpha }{W}}-{\frac {1}{(W-a)}})A_{K}-{\frac {\alpha }{W}}A_{0}\right]$

$J_{Ic}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[{\frac {1}{(W-a)}}A_{G}+({\frac {\alpha }{W}}-{\frac {1}{(W-a)}})(F_{max}f_{max}-A_{G})-{\frac {\alpha }{W}}A_{0}\right]$

$J_{Ic}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[{\frac {A_{G}}{(W-a)}}{\frac {\alpha }{W}}F_{max}f_{max}-{\frac {\alpha }{W}}A_{G}-{\frac {F_{max}f_{max}}{(W-a)}}+{\frac {A_{G}}{(W-a)}}-{\frac {\alpha }{W}}A_{0}\right]$

$J_{Ic}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[{\frac {2A_{G}-F_{max}f_{max}}{(W-a)}}+{\frac {\alpha }{W}}(F_{max}f_{max}-A_{G}-A_{0})\right]$

$J_{Ic}^{K}={\frac {1}{B}}\left[{\frac {1}{(W-a)}}(2A_{G}-F_{max}f_{max})+{\frac {\alpha }{W}}(F_{max}f_{max}-A_{G}-A_{0})\right]$

with $\alpha ={\frac {f^{2}({\frac {a}{W}})}{\int _{0}^{\frac {a}{W}}f^{2}({\frac {a}{W}})d({\frac {a}{W}})}}$

As a result of extensive investigations on the crack length dependence of the J-integral, it was proven in [1, 5] that the J evaluation methods of KANAZAWA and RICE, PARIS and MERKLE provide too high fracture-mechanical characteristic values for small crack lengths.
