Influence of stress concentrator geometry on fracture parameters values of quasi-brittle materials
Frantík, P. ; Keršner, Z. ; Klusák, Jan ; Řoutil, L. ; Seitl, Stanislav ; Veselý, V.
To assess the reliability of building structures, values of fracture mechanical properties of their materials have to be known. In the case of cement-based composite types the basic parameters are ascertained on the basis of evaluation of the response of specimens conducted to a test in a suitable testing configuration. Three-point bending specimens with a central starting notch are the most frequently used specimens for laboratory testing. The influence of the stress concentrator – starting central edge notch – in a three point bend specimen on the resulting values of fracture toughness was studied in author’s papers: a crack initiation at the notch tip was numerically simulated. It was shown that the values of fracture toughness obtained for specimens with larger widths of starting notch can be overestimated.
