- Abstract
The Omega parameter offers a novel approach to quantifying line pipe steels’ fracture resistance through a post-processing 3D scanning and slicing technique. Unlike traditional parameters such as the Crack Tip Opening Angle (CTOA), Omega reduces testing costs and subjectivity and remains unaffected by the geometrical configuration of the test setup. It provides a comprehensive evaluation of the fracture process, including tensile-dominant initiation, steady-state shear propagation, and the transition between these modes. This study explores Omega’s application to widely used sheet materials (DP600, DP1000, and Al7075) using Single Edge Notched Tensile (SENT) tests. Findings demonstrate Omega’s capability to accurately capture fracture behaviour across various stress triaxiality states and fracture modes. This highlights Omega’s potential to become a standardized test for analysing fracture failure in the sheet metal forming industry, where a wide range of stress states during forming is often observed.
