The ductile fracture toughness, J/sub Ic/, and tearing modulus, T, of ASTM A533, Grade B, Class 1 steel were evaluated by the unloading compliance method for determining J-R curves. These properties were measured for a matrix of 1T specimens in which the relative crack length, a/W, and the depth of side grooving were systematically varied to determine their individual effects. In addition, the applicability of an LVDT extensometer system was investigated for use in the unloading compliance method for J-R curve determination.
