✦ Synopsis
Experimental results due to several different investigators on the K I -g~ relationship are reviewed and the apparent differences in results leading to questions regarding the uniqueness of this relationship are discussed. The influence of the errors due to the three dimensional state of stress at the crack tip, the effects of non-singular stresses, velocity, transient loading and velocity measurement is presented. These errors have obscured resolution of the uniqueness question and an experiment is described to resolve the issue. * The reader is referred to related experiments on successively smaller specimens discussed in [25].

Crack extension paths are often irregular, producing rough fracture surfaces which have a fractal geometry. In this paper, crack tip motion along a fractal crack trace is analysed. A fractal kinking model of the crack extension path is established to describe irregular crack growth. A formula is der
For the application of the weight function method the crack opening displacements for a reference case have to be known. An approximate method to derive the crack opening field from the stress intensity factor was proposed by Petroski and Achenbach [Engng Fracture Me&. 10,257 (1978)J. The limited ac
