Popis: Fracture mechanics, as a scientific discipline dealing with the study of cracks in welded structures, has defined parameters and introduced new test methods in order to better determine the tendency to crack growth, critical conditions for rapid fracture development, material resistance to rapid crack propagation and better definition of other parameters for assessing the behaviour of the material and the safety of the structure in the presence of cracks. In this paper, the focus is on determination of the parameter of elastic-plastic mechanics of J-integral, more precisely, on examination of the critical value of J-integral (JIc) of the welded joint of HSLA steel. The position of the tip of the fatigue crack and the properties of the region where fracture propagation occurs are main indicators of influence of the heterogeneity of the NN-70 welded structure and mechanical properties. Resistance to cracking in the welded joint shows that the heterogeneity has a major impact on the resistance to crack initiation and propagation, in elastic as well as in the plastic region.
