Abstract

The load-deformation behaviour of thin plate crack specimens has been studied in detail using the moiré technique, and this behaviour has been modelled by plane stress finite-element calculations. Agreement between experimental and numerical results suggests that behaviour of thin plate crack specimens can be modelled by the plane stress finite-element programme, and hence this programme can be used to calculate fracture data for plane stress crack geometries.
