- 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.arrow_forwardA concrete cylinder sample has a diameter of 6 inches and a height of 12 inches.
