Abstract

The triaxial stress field has been measured along the centre line of a compact tension specimen in the direction of cracking. The specimen had been subjected to ∼60,000 cycles at δK=31 and Kmax = 34 MPa mm½ and was bolted open at maximum stress. The field was remeasured after the stress had been fully relaxed. The results are discussed in terms of expectations from fracture mechanics calculations.
