Comparison of Compliance Results for the Wedge-Loaded Compact Specimen

Abstract

Results of the ratio of stress intensity factor to crack mouth displacement as a function of crack length are presented for the wedge-loaded compact specimen. Comparisons are made between experimental compliance results, numerical results from collocation methods, and deep crack limit solution results. Applications are for crack arrest and stress corrosion cracking tests for metals and other materials under predominantly linear elastic conditions. Keywords: Crack propagation, Fracture toughness.
