Abstract

Peak-load method is a test method to determine material fracture parameters KIcS and CTODc of the two-parameter fracture model for quasi brittle materials. It calculates KIcS and CTODc from the measured peak loads of three or more distinct specimens. The method has been verified by a series of tests including beam bending, eccentric compression and split tension.
