The fracture toughness, or the property that describes the ability of a material containing a crack to resist fracture, of mild steel is around 50 K (where 'K' is the stress intensity factor).
It shows the fracture toughness of materials. higher the brittleness lower the fracture toughness and also lower will be the impact value and vice verse.
Impact test gives toughness value which is energy absorbed by material per unit volume.. From test like charpy test value of energy absorbed by the specimen can be calculated directly by getting the height of pendulum after impact.... whereas fracture toughness is totally different subject which comes into picture after formation of crack in the material. Methods of calculation of fracture toughness depends upon the type of material (brittle or ductile). Resistance curve is used to find the fracture toughness.
It depends on the ceramic. Most ceramics have fracture toughness between 0.7 AND 1 MPa - m^1/2. Some are lower, and some higher, up to 5 MPa-m^1/2
88 MPa.m-1/2
It is the English units for Fracture Toughness (K1c) of a specific material.
