Problem # 5
The load-deflection graph from a tensile fracture toughness test on a 50 mm thick
steel specimen is shown in the Fig. Also, shown (to scale) is the fracture surface of
the broken specimen. If the yield stress for the steel is 1659MNm2, establish
whether the test is valid for the determination of KIC.
