| | Summary: |
| | Elaboration of a methodology for determining the acceptability of detected cracks/flaws in a structure, has a major practical importance in the overall assessment and life integrity of a structure. The relation given by fracture mechanics links a parameter which describes the stress intensity at a crack tip to a material characteristic – fracture toughness. This relation provides the possibility of assessing the fracture conditions of the structural elements with defects (cracks) [1]. The present paper is proposing assessing the structural elements welded joints from the fracture mechanics point of view. The analysis is carried out in accordance with the British Standard procedure BS 7910 ('Guide to methods for assessing the acceptability of flaws in metallic structures')[5] |
