Original Abstract

The stress intensity factor (SIF) and the T-stress describing the crack tip asymptotic field of typical wedge splitting specimens with usual loading arrangements varying in the wedge angle are directly computed using ANSYS finite element software. Fatigue crack propagation rate was determined on a WST specimen and correlated with the applied stress intensity factor range (da/dN–K curve) corresponding to Paris-Erdogan law. The influence of the wedge angle value is quantified.
