โฆ Synopsis
A procedure, economic in both labour and material, is proposed for determining fracture toughness for small specimens; results are discussed for a total of 105 specimens drawn from five different materials.

Diametral compression of a grooved, disc shaped specimen is used to determine fracture toughness. This method's most important features are that extremely small specimens can be used and no knowledge of material properties is needed. It is suitable for many brittle materials, e.g. glass, cemented ca
The authors have earlier proposed a small cylindrical circumferentially notched and fatigue cracked specimen for estimating K,, Finite element studies carried out are discussed with specific attention to the comparison between K,( thus obtained to that obtained experimentally.

Methods of determining fracture toughness from specimens of thickness lower than that required by ASTM Standard, E399 were studied using aluminum and titanium alloy specimens. In thin specimens in which crack growth initiation is clearly marked by a sudden change in the slope of the load-displacemen
Abshnct-The specimen strength ratio (R,) determined from small specimen tests was correlated with plane strain fracture toughness (RI,) values for many beats of AS33B-1 steel. A variety of toading rate and specimen size results suggest that K,, can be predicted from the small specimen strength ratio
Based on two microscopic failure models, the maximum tension stress criterion and damage criterion, the relationships of the scaling parameters of elastic-plastic stress fields for HRR field and different specimens were established in this paper. The two-fold applications of the relationships were e
