Abstract
In this work, criteria for failure by ductile fracture of PRNB specimens are determined experimentally and by application of micromechanical analysis. The influence of size of the specimen, as well as size and shape of the stress concentrator, is analysed. The results of this study, along with previous authors' results, lead to the conclusion that the pipe ring specimens can be applied in integrity assessment of pipes with defects. Also, the benefits of their application include much simpler fabrication and the same material history as the pipe itself.
