INVESTIGATIONS REGARDING THE POSSIBILITY OF THE USE OF
TEST-SPECIMENS WITH REDUCED DIMENSIONS IN THE NIBLINK METHOD OF TESTING.
By S. Kubera.
Introduction.
The NIBLINK method of testing /1/ is intended for testing low strength ferritic steels. The method is useful for estimation of critical regions
of weidments from the viewpoint of brittle fracture danger.
In the above method of testing, the dimensions of a test-piece were de-termined rather intuitively, including two important parameters, viz. the plate thickness and full cross-section of the weidment. Thé results of numerous of the tests carried out in different laboratories /2-7/,
indicated the specific features of the method as well as the limits of application. Some reservation still exists concerning the procedure of the testing because of the not very clear physical meaning of the crack opening displacement (COD) value measured by the tests, obtained on the test-piece as the result of repeated impact loading /8/.
The present paper deals with the research carried out in the Delft University of Technology, Ship Structures Laboratory, with the purpose
to prove the possibility of reduction of the specimen-dimensions in the NIBLINK test-procedure. Simultaneously the purpose of the investigations
was the collection of some special information enabling the-better under-standing and interpreting of the values measured by the tests. For these reasons the experiments were carried out applying more complicated
meth-ods of measurements than the usual NIBLINK testing-method /10/.
Assumptions for the tests.
2.1. Material and dimensións of the test-specimen.
All specimens were made from the same plate of a low carbon steel of a thickness t 30 mm.
The yield-point for the plate material was 25,4 kg/mm2 and the tensile
strength 40,1.i kg/mm2.
-For the bomparison tests, regarding the possibility of reduction of the test-specimen dimensions (fig. 1), two series of the test-specimens were used.
Series 1: with reduced height only, consisting of three groups of
specimens:
Series 2: with reduced height and length:

2 Q2
All th specimens had the same notch dimensions as the' NIBLINK test piece (fig. 2)..
The breadth (B) of all of the specimens was constant and equal to the thickness of the plate (30 mm).
The dimensions of the S/2 specimen correspond nearly to the dimensions
of a standard test-piece for COD-testiog recommended by the CODA-panel
/9/. According to this proposal, the specimen should be of square cross-section (B W); the loading span (S) should be < the specimen-width (W)
and the notch-depth: a
2.2. Test conditions for series 1 and 2.
In the NIBLINIK-tes-t, the drop-hammer mass is related to the plate
thick-nss and corresponds to a weight in kg equal ò the plate thickness in mm.
Hence for N-B specimen used in the investigations the drop-hammer weight was fixed as. P 30 kg. For the specimens with reduced dimensions, the drop-weight was decreased relatiire to the crdss-section reduction.
It means that for all the specimens the following criterion was fulfilled:

Aöcording to the NIBLINK test procedure, the height of the first blow for ali specimens was the same (H 20 cm) and for the following blows
increased in steps of H 5 cm or H 10 cm.
_All the specimens in seriès i were tested at room temperature (T
20°C).
One part of the specimens in series 2 was tested at low temperatures00, _100, -2O, -30°, -Lo°C).
Specifications of the specimens of series 1 and series 2 are given in-table I (appendix 1).
2.3. Welded specimens series with reduced dimensions.
-The fundamental advantage of a specimen of the NIBLINK-type is that such a specimen with its dimensions -is sufficiently sensitive to give real information regarding the resistance of the tested material to fracture initiation. The NIBLINK-type specimen is especially useful for tests of all regions of weidment which can be critical, (these are HAZ, weld-metal
or parent plate material).
To check if this feature is not akianged by reduction of the specimen-'dimensions, a second stage of i s-t.g'at;ions was realized with use of
welded specimens (type W), with the dimensions like for the specimens of
type S.
All the.test-joints were weldedmanually. The weidments -were prepared by use of electrode-type CONARC 51 of higher strength (50-60 kg/mm2), or electrode-type RESISTEÑS of lower strength (L15-50 kg/mm2). For each

trode one welded plate was made at room temp,erature (T z +20°C), and
one at lower temperature (T z 0°C). The specimens were machined with
a notch cross-section in the weld-axis or in the HAZ (lo mm from the we Id-axis).
All the welded specimens were tested at the following temperatures: +200, 00, -2O and -L1.O°C.
Specifications of the welded specimens are given in table II (append-ix 1).
3. Test procedure.
3.1. Instrumentation of the drop-weight test.
In a conventional NIBLINK test procedure one variable is determined,
namely the Crack Opening Displacement (COD), being the residual value after a blow, measured in the rion of the notch. The COD-value is measured by means of a special COD-dial gauge.
For the investigations being ;the subject of this report, special in-strumentation was applied for measurement of the. impact force
trans-mitted to the test-specimen by a
blow
and for measurmen-t of the-dynamical COD-value which corresponds to this force. )Bytests at low temperatures, the temperature of the specimen was
checked by means of a thermocouple connected directly to the specimen.
3.2. Calibration tests.
In the first stage of the investigations it was of special interest io recognize the dynamical behaviour of a test-specimen under an impact loading and also to confirm that there is an essential similarity be-tween phenomena occurring at tests on a normal specimen
imen with reduced dimensions.
For this purpose two specimens (N-B and S) were used with 21 strain gauges fixed at corresponding points on both of the specimens (fig.
L)
Se report no. 160.
spec--7
In corsequence of the above calibration, all the specimens of series 1
and 2 were tested applying one strain gauge in the region of the notch.
For determining the relation between the force, COD and deflection fbr
the specimen, two specimens (N-B and S) Were tested in static condi-tions.
14 Results of the calibration tests.
From the calibration tests on th N-B and S specimens, useful information was obtained regarding the magnitude of the strains in the particular
points of the specimens, caused by the successive blows.
The diagrams of fig. 5 and fig. 6 show the distribution of the strains in the notchcross-sections for both kinds of the test-pieces. The dia-grams, basically, are similar but there is a distinct higher intensity
of the strain-increase for the smaller specimen (fig. 7).
This effect may be explained as the greater influence of the notch depth
in consequence of the reduction of the specimen-height. Confirming the
above conclusion may be the phenomenon of a distinct shift of the actual
neutral axis.for the smaller, specimen shown on diagram fig. 7.
The diagrams fig. 8 and fig. 9 show the changes in the magnitude of the
maximum strain ( ) in the particular points of the notch
cross-sec-max
f ion, respectively for' the N-B and S-specimen. This maximum value of ttain'is the sum of the elastic and the residual value:
C C + C
max E R
Both the values
E and CR were recorded during the tests. As is visible
on the diagrams fig. 10, 11 and 12, there is a fundamental difference in the development of these two values. It is worthy to notice the high de-gree of similarity in the form of he curves of CE and
R for both the specimens.
.Besides the strain measurements the magnitude of the. impact force (F') and the residual COD (the last with aid of the special COD-dial gauge) were also measured. On fig. 13 there is a dimensionless comparison of
,the residual strains (CR) indicated by th'e strain .gauge at the tip of
the notch (No. 1), and the CODR_vlue, for the consecutive blows. From
this it may be concluded that only in the .very early stage of the
pro-cess, there is a linear correlation between these two values.
The strain gauges located at some distance from the notch cross-section (in the regions where only elastic strains occur), indicated the analogy of the strain-magnitude in these points and of the magnitude of the
im-pact force for corresponding blows (fig. 14).
Tle impact force curve in the final stage of the process shows an abrupt
deflection for both the specimens. This is caused by the reduction of the stiífness of the specimen at the beginning of the fracture. It can be expected that by the first blows, when the elastic deflection of the specimen is predominant, the impact force will be linearly depending on the square root of the energy of the blow ( En). As is visible on the
diagram fig. 15 (giving the impact force as a function of En), the
values of the impact force indeed approach to the straight line for the
-8-On the diagram fig. 16 the impact force (Fmax) related .to the height of
the specimen for both specimens was expressed as function of CODR.
From this diagrain may be noticed.the relative higher loading of the
specimen S, what is in good agreement with the picture of the phenomena resulting from the strain distribution in the notch cross-section for
both the specimens (fig. 5 and 6).
5. Results of the tests carried out on the specimens series 1 and 2.
In the series 1 and 2 altogether '42 test-pieces were tested. (Fig. 17 and 18).
Records were obtained of the dyiamical and residual COD-value (COD
max
and CODR respectively) as function of the time, the impact force (F), and the strains in the tip of the notch.
The diagrams (fig. 20 till 36 - appendix) show the results of the above
values measured for each of the test-pieces group with different
dimen-sions.
It is visible that for ths test-pieces series i (NB/i; M/l; S/i - fig. 21,
22, 23) the reduction of the specimen height involved a distinct increase
of the COD-value and the strains in the notch tip (fig. 29 and 30).
As result of the higher degree of the deformations in the region of the notch, the specimens type M/l and S/i fractured after a smaller number of blows. Simultaneously for the specimen with reduced height, a
reduc-tion of the impact force was noticeable (fig. 31, 3'+).
In consequence of the length-reduction, the test-pieces in. series 2 04/2. and S/l,, fig. 24, 25), indicated a less severe increase of the
COD-and strain-values, COD-and also a corresponding increase of the impact force
(fig. 35, 36). The results for the specimens series 2 better approach to
values for the N-B test pieces, but the analogy was still not
satisfac-tory (fig. 19) because of the too high COD rate increase.
For all the g'oups, the specimens tested under the condition of height 6f the blow-increase H 5 cm indicated higher values of COD than
the specimens tested for H 10 cm, for equal height of blow.
By the tests at low temperatures, the results for the N-B test-pieces
were rather easier for interpretation, because of more blows to the
frac-ture, as compared to the S/2 specimens (fig. 23, 25, 28, 31). Generally speaking it seems that the siope of and the deviation from the straight part of the COD-curve are more valuable to make comparisOns than only the COD-value for the last blow. The scàtter in the magnitude of the COD for the lat blow is visible also on the diagrams regarding the dynamical
COD measurements (fig. 27), and in particular for the tests at low tern-peratures (f 1g. 26, 28).

Altogether 32 of the welded test-specimens with the dimensions like for
the specimens group S/2 (fig. 37) were tested.

FlG37 The specimen for investiqetion of the COD-votue for the
weLd-metaL and for the HAZ.
The comparison of the results for the welded specimens (fig. 38 till '31)
is
interesting
because it indicates clearly that the method of testingis reliable enough to assess properties of the.weldments. The results of the tests allow to distinguish not only rather rough differences be-tween weld-metal and HAZ, but also more refined differences as the qual-ity of the weld-metal (better results for the CONARC 51 electrode),. property of HAZ (better for RESISTENS electrode) and the ì.nfluence of the
welding conditions (worse results for the specimens welded at low temper-ature: T O C in comparison to the specimens welded at T
.+20°C).t

7. Conclusions from the tests.
The tests were carried out on the test-pieces of one kind of the steel and of once the thickness of the plate. This gives some limitations for
gener-alization of the results.
The specimens with reduced dimensions were rather less'favourable in com-parison with the NIBLINK test specimen, because of too high rate of increase of the COD-value for the consecutive blows,Thjs disadvantage, it seems, Is easy to remove by changing the depth and sharpness of the notch More
satisfying results can be obtained also by the reduction of the steps of
12
-the increase of -the impact loading by test.
In any case the results from the welded specimens allow of the conclusion that the specimen with reduced dimensions (in such a way that height of
the specimen thickness of the plate; and span length of the specimen I-tx height) may find application and may replace the specimen of NIBLINK
type, provided that some additional tests will be carried out to define
more accurately the requirements for the specimens and to establish the
