Calibration for C-Shaped Specimens of Various Geometries
SourcePrior collocation results are combined with new collocation data and analyzed using two parameter data approximation methods and fracture mechanics methods. A general K calibration is obtained for C-shaped specimens which have outer to inner radius ratios, W = r2/r1, between 1.4 and 2.5.
The K calibration for C-shaped specimens is found to depend on the load eccentricity to specimen thickness ratio, x/t, as well as the usual crack depth to specimen thickness ratio, a/t. The K results are presented as tabular and plotted values from a cubic spline surface used to approximate the collocation data and as a polynomial approximation of the collocation data over a more limited range of x/t.
