Development of Compliance Expression for Deeply Flawed 1T-WOL Specimen

Abstract

It is difficult to make precise load measurements in 1T-WOL specimens where significant crack extension (the ratio of the final crack length to specimen width exceeds 0.8) has occurred during testing An alternate method to determine this load would be from compliance calculation using the original, measured crack mouth opening displacement. Such an equation has been derived and verified.
