Fracture Toughness Prediction under Compressive Residual Stress by Using a Stress-Distribution T-Scaling Method

The improvement in the fracture toughness Jc of a material in the ductile-to-brittle transition temperature region due to compressive residual stress (CRS) was considered in this study. A straightforward fracture prediction was performed for a specimen with mechanical CRS by using the T-scaling meth...
