Fracture toughness characterization through notched small punch test specimens

In this work a novel methodology for fracture toughness characterization by means of the small punch test (SPT) is presented. Notched specimens are employed and fracture resistance is assessed through a critical value of the notch mouth displacement δSPT. Finite element simulations and interrupted e...
