Abstract
Based on the project Arctic Materials (2008-2017), a generic database platform has been developed for efficient access to material data of various materials, such as steels/weldments, aluminium alloys, composites and polymers/coatings. Safe and flexible data processing, accessible through a customized web interface, is obtained by unifying test results, test methods and procedures (e.g. tensile testing, fracture mechanics testing). This framework is strengthened by the integration of post-processing calculation and visualizing tools to account for the influence of, e.g., temperature, constraint effects, probabilistic scatter, and scaling on the material response. Its aim is to contribute to an improved design guideline for materials requirements in Arctic conditions (down to -60ºC). This paper will illustrate the framework by considering the fracture toughness assessment from testing data of a structural steel.
