Fracture mechanics should be used routinely in fractographic analyses in order to verify that the correct feature has been identified as the fracture origin. This was highlighted in a recent Versailles Advanced Materials and Standards (VAMAS) fractographic analysis round robin. The practice of using fracture mechanics as an aid to fractographic interpretation is codified in a new ASTM Standard Practice. Conversely, very good estimates for fracture toughness often come from fractographic analysis of strength tested specimens. In many instances however, the calculated flaw size is different from the empirically-measured flaw size. This paper reviews the factors which may cause the discrepancies.
