Fracture-surface topography analysis (FRASTA) was successfully used to simulate the process of crack and calculate parameters of crack such as the crack opening angle (COA) and crack-tip opening angle (CTOA). But because the amount of calculation is large, errors are often made during the course of calculation. FRASTA simulation software, namely fracture surface analyst (FSA) is developed and a series of center-cracked tension (CCT) and double edge notched (DEN) specimens of different materials with different sizes are tested, their fracture surfaces are scanned by non-contact 3D scanning system and the elevation data of the fracture surfaces is recorded. FSA used the recorded elevation data of fracture surfaces to simulate the process of crack based on the principle of FRASTA. Results show that FSA can accurately simulate the process and calculate the parameters of crack.

A new method, using the fracture-surface topography analysis (FRASTA), of determining the parameters of rotation factor and CTOA is provided. The fracture surfaces are scanned by laser microscope and the height data is recorded to analyze. By comparing the crack extension, plastic rotation factor and COA obtained by the method of double clip gauge and by this new method respectively, the validity of it is verified. It is then used to determine the CTOA. The critical CTOA is well determined in this paper. Also by the new method, the variation of crack opening deformation (COA and CTOA) through specimen thickness can be obtained which can't be obtained by the usual methods. It also can provide much information of crack extension such as direction and ratio.

To investigate the causes that led to the formation of cracks in materials, a novel method that only considered the fracture
surfaces for determining the fracture toughness parameters of J-integral for plain strain was proposed. The principle of the
fracture-surface topography analysis (FRASTA) was used. In FRASTA, the fracture surfaces were scanned by laser microscope and the
elevation data was recorded for analysis. The relationship between J-integral and fracture surface average profile for plain strain
was deduced. It was also verified that the J-integral determined by the novel method and by the compliance method matches each
other well.

J-integral and crack opening displacement δ(COD) were important parameters for characterization of fractures in engineering materials. The relationship between J-integral and COD has been investigated for a long time and was enerally represented as J = m σyδ, where σy is the yield strength and m is a function of specimen geometry and material properties. To determine the value of m, extensive studies and experiments have been performed. The method that used the fracture-surface topography analysis (FRASTA) for determining J-integral from fracture surfaces of materials was introduced. On the basis of the relationship between COD and fracture surface average profile, the relationship between J-integral and COD was deduced and compared with the generally used equation. The method was experimentally confirmed to be able to provide a new way to determine the relationship between J-integral and COD.
