A CTOD test is performed on a three point bend specimen. Figure below shows the deformed specimen after it has been unloaded. That is, the displacements shown are the plastic components. P (a) Derive an expression for plastic CTOD (8) in terms of A, and specimen dimensions (consider 4W as the span of the specimen before loading).
