Fracture toughness determination of dual-phase DP450 steel using the essential work of fracture (EWF) methodology is the major focus of this research work. The EWF method is used for the determination of fracture toughness of thin sheets in a plane stress dominant condition. The EWF method is discussed in detail with the help of DP450 steel experimental results. Double edge notched tension (DENT) specimens with fatigue pre-crack and without fatigue crack (notched) have been used for testing. Specific essential work of fracture (we), crack tip opening displacement (δce) and crack tip opening angle (ψe) parameters were used for the comparative analysis. High-intensity laser beam cutting technology was used for the preparation of notches. Fracture toughness values of fatigue pre-cracked and notched samples were compared. The effect of notch tip radius and fatigue crack on the fracture toughness values were analysed. Digital image correlation (DIC) technology was used for the identification of local strain distribution and validation of the methodology. Fractured surfaces were examined by a scanning electron microscope (SEM) to analyse the fracture morphology and stress state.

Polyamide 6 (PA6) based nanocomposites toughened with 20 wt% maleated styrene-ethylene-butylene-stryrene (mSEBS) reinforced with 1-7 wt% silicon carbide nanoparticles (SiCp) were fabricated via melt blending followed by injection molding. Tensile results showed that SiCp additions improve the Young’s modulus and tensile strength of PA6/mSEBS blends but decrease their tensile ductility and impact strength. EWF test revealed that the SiCp additions reduce both the specific essential work of fracture and specific non-essential plastic work of fracture. Thus SiCp additions are detrimental to the fracture toughness of PA6/mSEBS blend.
