Vv. Kalaida et Av. Naumov, CALCULATION OF THE CURRENT VALUE OF STRESS INTENSITY FACTOR UNDER IMPACT TESTING, Engineering fracture mechanics, 45(6), 1993, pp. 875-879
Based on the analysis of motion of a three-point bend (3PB) specimen,
differential equations to solve for the bending moment in the crack cr
oss-section for single- and three-point bending were obtained. The val
ue of the bending moment (or the stress intensity factor) during testi
ng was obtained from these equations. The time delay of signals, which
registered the forces on the hammer and supports, was analyzed. A goo
d agreement between the theoretical and experimental results was obser
ved.
