Almtract-T%is paper analyses the post-failure behavior of a three-point bend round beam specimen based on the idea of Carpinteri [J. Engng Me&. 115, 13754392 (1989)]. It is pointed out that the behavior of this specimen is different from that of Carpinteri's specimen with a rectangular cross-section
The relationship between the three point bend (TPB) specimen size and the measured fracture toughness K,, value is analyzed by the theory of crack opening displacement (COD). According to the concept of plane strain fracture toughness K,,, a new formula for K,, is presented. For small-scale or large
Finite element simulations of the three point bend fracture toughness specimen have been performed to investigate the effect of crack front curvature and side-grooving. Even modest crack front curvature moves the position of maximum energy release rate from the center towards the free surfaces of th
