One common concern with the manual testing of chevron notched specimens to determine fracture toughness is that it does not provide for precise control over the loading rate. This study examines the effect of loading rate on the measured fracture toughness of 20 identical hardened AISI 4140 steel sa
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
