✦ Synopsis
A method for deducing the J crack driving force value versus crack extension curve, the J_ curve, during stable crack growth has recently R been reformulated by L1n, et al. This new proposed relation for J is intended to apply to rectangular bend beams with a through thickness crack subject to bending only.
It is shown here that in general, the proposed, reformulated J relationship applies only to a very restricted class of test specimens -constant J specimens.
Linear elastic, deeply notched and unstable, non-linear elastic bend beams are not constant J test specimens. The proposed reformulated J relationships which involve measurable bending moments, conjugate angular rotations, and crack extensions will not apply to bend beams since in these test pieces both J and the bending moment may not, in general, be held constant simultaneously while the crack extends.

Burns [i] has asserted that, in general, the formulation of J that we proposed recently [2] only applies to a very restricted class of test specimens, mainly including constant J specimens. He suggests that in the general case J is a state function [3] of two variables among: displacement angle @ as
Using a direct proportionality between the rate of fatigue crack growth and crack opening displacement above a threshold, it is shown that fatigue crack growth data for a wide variety of different materials can be accurately described in terms of the mechanical properties and two material constants
