Development of an engineering assessment procedure for predicting cleavage fracture from non-sharp defects using the failure assessment diagram
Current defect assessment procedures assume all flaws to be sharp, a conservative assumption that can lead to pessimistic structural integrity assessment of structures and under-estimation of their safety margin against fracture. This study has developed an engineering assessment procedure for predi...
