The present application relates to the field of crack propagation test of stress
corrosion,
corrosion fatigue and
fracture toughness, and particularly relates to a
system for in-situ monitoring of crack length of
compact tension specimen in harsh
corrosion environment and a use method thereof. Two short sides of a T-shaped connecting
assembly are fixed at both sides of a center crack opening of a CT specimen, a long side head of the T-shaped connecting
assembly is inserted into a through hole on one side of a turning block, a displacement transmission rod is clamped by a separated ohmic clamp on the other side of the turning block, an inductive core on the upper end of the displacement transmission rod is threadedly connected to a LVDT inserted into a high-temperature and high-pressure kettle cover, a spacer is threadedly and tightly sealed on the high-temperature and high-pressure kettle cover, a
water cooling jacket is arranged outside the spacer, the LVDT is connected to the upper end of the spacer through a thread and a sealing
washer, and the LVDT is connected to a
data collector. The present application uses the flexibility method to obtain a relationship expression between the opening displacement of the crack opening of the CT specimen and the crack length, so that the crack length of the CT specimen in the harsh corrosion environment can be monitored in-situ.
