The short rod chevron-notch specimen has the advantages of (1) crack development at the chevron tip during the early stage of test loading and (2) convenient calculation of Ktc from the maximum test load and a calibration factor which depends only on the specimen geometry and manner of loading. For
The chevron V-notched bend bar specimen recently proposed as a practical approach to the fracture toughness testing of brittle materials has been further evaluated. The accuracy of the stress intensity expression has been improved through experimental analysis. The applicability of this specimen for
