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
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
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
