Kh. Schwalbe et B. Neale, A PROCEDURE FOR DETERMINING THE FRACTURE-BEHAVIOR OF MATERIALS - THE UNIFIED FRACTURE-MECHANICS TEST METHOD EFAM GTP-94, Fatigue & fracture of engineering materials & structures, 18(4), 1995, pp. 413-424
A unified fracture mechanics test method for quasi-static testing of m
aterials is described. It builds on the ESIS Procedures P1 and P2 and
introduces additional aspects, such as the delta(5) crack tip opening
displacement, non-standard CT and SENB specimen configurations, centre
cracked tensile specimens, testing of weldments, and guidance for sta
tistical treatment of scattered data.
