Description
Over the past several years, researchers at BCL have been gathering the available crack-arrest-toughness (K/sub Ia/) data. A draft report summarizing and characterizing this information has been submitted to ORNL, and the highlights are discussed. Data are presented in a form that can help provide predictions of material behavior under normal and faulted conditions. The data also provide information on the effects of specimen design and loading conditions on measured crack-arrest behavior. The data bank includes both base plate and weldments and irradiated as well as unirradiated materials. The bulk of data (88%) is for unirradiated base plate. Only 5% is for unirradiated welds, and less than 7% is for irradiated specimens. About 60% of all data were obtained at BCL, including all of the irradiated specimen data and almost all of the weldment data
