Experimental conditions affecting the measured fracture toughness at the microscale: Notch geometry and crack extension measurement

Experimental fracture mechanics at the microscale became an indispensable tool for understanding and developing advanced material systems. In case of linear elastic fracture mechanics, stringent requirements are typically only warranted for very brittle materials. The material properties of semi-bri...
