Résumé : |
The Spiral Notch Torsion Test (SNTT) determines the intrinsic fracture toughness (KIC) of structural materials by applying pure torsion to cylindrical specimens having a notch line that spirals around the specimen at a 45° pitch. KIC values are obtained with the aid of a three-dimensional finite-element computer code, TOR3D-KIC. The SNTT method is suitable for testing a wide variety of materials used extensively in pressure vessel and piping structural components and weldments, as well as ceramic and graphite materials. One important characteristic of SNTT is that neither a fatigue precrack nor a deep notch is required for evaluation of brittle materials, significantly reducing the sample size requirement. Results are reported for a Portland cement-based mortar demonstrating applicability of the SNTT method to cementitious materials. The estimated KIC of the tested mortar samples with compressive strength of 34.45 MPa was found to be 0.360 ± 0.017 MPa √m. |
