Abstract
With the determination of load-time curve recorded by Amsler/Roell RKP 450 Instrumented Charpy Impact test and based on the Newton's Second Law, Impact character of a single standard V-notch specimen of X70 pipeline steel under the low temperature -70 $^{\circ}$ C was investigated by studying the impact energy distribution. It was revealed that maximum load point (F $_{\rm m}$ point) was not exact the dynamic crack initiation, which was detected somewhere prior and very close to F $_{\rm m}$ point by using Compliance Changing Rate method. This fact was also confirmed by Dynamic CTOD method. That is to say, Impact energy related to the F $_{\rm m}$ point (i.e. E $_{\rm m}$ ) consists not only the crack initiation energy E $_{\rm i}$ , but a small part of crack extension energy as well. Ratio of E $_{\rm i}$ /E $_{\rm m}$ was found to be 0.90 just applicable to the material used here. Dynamic fracture toughness J $_{\rm Jd}$ was then estimated by modified Rice equation. Crack extension behavior and dynamic crack growth resistance curve (J- $\Delta$ a) during stable crack propagation period was carefully analyzed by Key Curve method. Finally, methods for evaluating tearing module T $_{\rm mat}$ , and CTOD curve under the impact test were also briefly introduced in the paper.
