Fracture toughness is a measure of a material's resistance to fracture when a crack is present. It is an important property for materials used in engineering applications, as it can help to prevent catastrophic failures.
What is Fracture Toughness?
Fracture toughness is typically measured using a test called the Charpy impact test. In this test, a specimen of the material is struck with a hammer, and the energy required to break the specimen is measured. The fracture toughness is then calculated based on the energy required to break the specimen and the size of the specimen.
