✦ Synopsis

THE USE of chevron notch specimens is a very attractive approach to fracture toughness testing in that the need to precrack specimens is avoided, so reducing testing costs. The paper by Stromswold and Quesnel [I] is a welcome attempt to further reduce costs by the use of a hand operated testing tool. However, their approach does appear to have two potential shortcomings.
