In this study, we performed the static test of nuclear piping materials by the unloading compliance method and the normalization data reduction technique and obtained two fracture resistance curves (J-R curves). The two curves were similar, which proves that the normalization data reduction technique can be adopted in the static test. Then we performed the dynamic fracture toughness test for welding part of nuclear piping. The J-R curves were obtained from the dynamic test by the normalization data reduction technique and were compared to those of the static test results.

During oil-drilling, the fractures of drill tool thread and piercement of drill pipe upset transition are very common in drill pipe failure as an object of petroleum and metallurgical researchers home and abroad. The classical fracture mechanics can only resolve the static fracture problem of oil country tubular goods (OCTG), but not resolve drill pipe failure under dynamic load. It is well known that the API 5D just prescribes strength criterion of drill pipe material but fracture toughness of drill pipe material. So, it is important to study dynamic fracture toughness of drill pipe material and present appropriate toughness criterion, which can not only optimize the drill string structural design, but also reduce fracture failure of drill string. On the basis of presenting main test means of dynamic fracture toughness and referring to the Charpy V test, the new impact experiment instrument is developed. Numerical and experimental comparisons show that the repeated dynamic fracture toughness tested by the impact experiment instrument is more accurate than one time impact, which can better show material characteristic and provide a reliable way to distinguish material characteristic, in the meantime, the correlations between dynamic fracture toughness of drill pipe material and failure of drill pipe is obtained.

Abstract Mode I dynamic delamination fracture was studied with two polymeric fiber reinforced composites. Wedge insertion fracture test on a Kolsky bar (or split Hopkinson pressure bar) apparatus was conducted. A speed about 1,000 m/s of Mode I delamination crack propagation was achieved using high rates of loading. Dynamic fracture and crack propagation were modeled by the finite element method. Dynamic initiation fracture toughnesses of both composites S2/8552 and IM7/977-3 were obtained. For IM7/977-3, dynamic fracture toughness of IM7/977-3 associated with the high speed of propagating crack was examined. It is found that the dynamic fracture toughness of the delamination crack propagating at speed up to 1,000 m/s approximately equals to the dynamic initiation fracture toughness, which is again approximately equal to the static fracture toughness.
