Popis: The methods for assessment of elastic–plastic fracture behaviour of cracked components include the net section plastic collapse concept, the J -integral approach, and the two-parameter R-6 failure assessment diagram, Revision 3. These failure assessment methods are usually used to obtain fracture behaviour prediction with a reasonable degree of accuracy without carrying out complicated full-length numerical fracture analysis. In the current work, fracture experiments on stainless steel pipes with short circumferential through-wall cracks under stretch-bending load were conducted. Stretch-bending load refers to the loading situation where axial load is generated that is proportional or related to the applied bending load. The J -integral values derived from the experimental load-point load–displacement data under stretch-bending and pure bending conditions are compared to investigate the effect of axial load on the J –resistance curves. The results show clear dependence of crack resistance force on axial load for short circumferential cracks. Crack resistance force decreased noticeably for increased stretch-bending loading compared to pure bending loading.
