Abstract	Thermal shocks and temperature gradients associated with large thickness constitute difficult loadings for structures integrity analysis. Moreover, at low temperature or because of irradiation effects, the pressure vessel steel 16MND5 undergoes a transition in fracture mode which may lead to cleavage initiation. The prevention of this fracture mode is generally ensured by first staying outside the brittle domain and secondly, by imposing a stress intensity factor below the fracture toughness which is determined from monotonic and isotherm standard tests. But, with various temperature-loading histories, this criterion is not faultless. Therefore, in order to study in detail rupture under thermal shocks, with several loading types (mechanical and/or thermal loadings), a specific-adapted cracked ring has been developed. It consists of a 50mm thick ring which has a crack on the external diameter and several holes through the specimen to locally heat the ring by injecting hot water which can lead to crack initiation. This particular test allows the study of crack initiation with only thermal loading or both thermal loading and external mechanical loading. This article describes in details several tests including one with cleavage rupture. Moreover, numerical calculations are presented to estimate the mechanical fields at the crack tip and the global fracture mechanics parameters as a function of the temperature. Several rupture criteria are then applied to predict the initiation.
