Abstract The influence of mechanical properties and fracture toughness of the core on debond fracture toughness of foam core sandwich has been examined. It was found that the fracture toughness for debonding was larger than the core toughness. The observed difference between core fracture toughness and face/core debonding toughness was analyzed using plastic zone size and mode mixity arguments. The difference in toughness can not be explained by plastic zone size and mode mixity effects. It is possible that the core displays a gradient in properties and fracture resistance, and anisotropic behavior which might explain the difference in toughness.

Abstract The fracture toughness test was conducted on γ + α2 two-phase TiAl alloys with lamellar, duplex and near-y structures. The x-ray fractographic technique was applied to the fracture, surfaces. The plastic zone size my was determined on the basis of the distributions of the residual stress and the half-value breadth beneath the fracture surfaces. Although the fracture mode shows microstructure dependence, ωγ is related to the fracture toughness value KIC and the yield stress σY as: ωy=α(KIC/σY) where α is 0.13.

Different stress distributions for an elastic behavior are presented as analytical expressions for an ideal crack, a sharp notch and a blunt notch. The elastic plastic distribution at a blunt notch tip is analyzed. The concept of the notch stress intensity factor is deduced from the definition of the effective stress and the effective distance. The impacts of the notch radius and constraint on the critical notch stress intensity factor are presented. The paper ends with the presentation of the crack driving force Jρ for a notch in the elastic case and the impact of the notch radius on the notch fracture toughness Jρ,c. The notch fracture toughness Jρ,c is a measure of the fracture resistance which increases linearly with the notch radius due to the plastic work in the notch plastic zone. If this notch plastic zone does not invade totally the ligament, the notch fracture toughness Jρ,c is constant. This occurs when the notch radius is less than a critical one and there is no need to use the cracked specimen to measure a lower bound of the fracture resistance.
