Question

A compact tension specimen is tested according to ASTM standard E399. The load
displacement curve is shown in the Figure below with PQ= 120 kN (Type 1 curve). The specimen
dimensions are B=0.5 cm, W=10 cm, and “a” =5 cm. If the materials yield stress is 600 MPa are
the conditions correct for a valid K1C measurement?
Please look up McEviley’s textbook on the thickness criterion for a valid fracture toughness value. 

 

The image depicts a graph comparing load versus displacement, featuring three types of loading behaviors labeled as Type I, Type II, and Type III.

1. **Axes**:
   - The vertical axis represents "Load."
   - The horizontal axis represents "Displacement."

2. **Type I**:
   - Shows a linear increase in load with displacement until it reaches a point where \( P_s = PQ \). 
   - There is a marked point for "3% Secant."

3. **Type II**:
   - Demonstrates an increase in load followed by a small drop at \( P_s \), then a rise to reach \( P_{\text{max}} \) and slight decline.
   - It highlights the distinct points \( P_Q \) and \( P_s \).

4. **Type III**:
   - The load increases with displacement without any initial drop, reaching \( P_{\text{max}} \). It ends with a rapid drop afterward.
   - Here, \( P_{\text{max}} = PQ \), indicating a direct correlation between these two points.

This diagram is useful for understanding different structural response behaviors under varying loads and displacement conditions.
