- This paper reviews some typical specimen designs, procedures, and important variables involved in fracture mechanics testing. Measurement of fracture mechanics quantities that characterize fast unstable fracture, stress-corrosion cracking, and fatigue are discussed. Some procedures are outlined by which laboratory measurements may be used to estimate quantitatively a material's suitability for particular service applications and its influence on subsequent inspection requirements.
