8、Method4.1 This test method involves the application of an openingload to the mouth of the short rod or short bar specimen whichcontains a chevron-shaped slot.Load versus displacementacross the slot at the specimen mouth is recorded autographi-cally.As the load is increased,a crack initiates at the p

10、wounloading-reloading cycles are performed during the test tomeasure the effects of any macroscopic residual stresses in thespecimen.The fracture toughness is calculated from themaximum load in the test and a residual stress parameter whichis evaluated from the unloading-reloading cycles on the test
