ln this paper a K-COD (8) relationship proposed in the case of single edge notched tension (SENT) specimens is applied to the compact tension (CT) specimen. According to this relationship, K-8 is a linear relationship dependent on specimen dimensions and al W ratio. The effect of specimen width and
hharaet--A compact form of C-shape fracture toughness test specimen is investigated. The specimen can be taken from thick-walled cylinders with greater material economy than the proposed ASTM C-shape, but is more difficult to manufacture. The K-calibration is identical with the ASTM compact tension
Correlations are shown between the plane strain fracture toughness, K,,, and the notch tensile/yield strength ratios, NTS/YS, for 2124-T85l alloy. Over 100 data points were available in each of the three conventional testing directions. Results indicate that the sharp notch tension test could have r
