Abstract
The theoretical background of 'load separation principle' has been rev iewed. Based on dimensional analysis, experimental results and finite element analysis the conditions for the validity of this principle hav e been studied and a method has been suggested to estimate the load se paration function, and hence to estimate the eta(p)-factor and to dete rmine the J-R resistance curve easily from records of a single specime n or structure.
