# THREE POINT FLEXURAL TEST SPECIMEN

Single-edge notch -bending specimen(also called three-point bending specimen) for fracture toughness testing. The fracture toughness of a specimen can also be determined using a three-point flexural test. The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a single edge notch bending specimen is {displaystyle W} is the width of the specimen.

OverviewFracture toughness testingStandardsSee alsoThe fracture toughness of a specimen can also be determined using a three-point flexural test. The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a single edge notch bending specimen is {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}K_{\rm {I}}&={\frac {4P}{B}}{\sqrt {\frac {\pi }{W}}}\left[1.6\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{1/2}-2.6\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{3/2}+12.3\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{5/2}\right.\\&\qquad \left.-21.2\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{7/2}+21.8\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{9/2}\right]\end{aligned}}}New content will be added above the current area of focus upon selectionThe fracture toughness of a specimen can also be determined using a three-point flexural test. The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a single edge notch bending specimen is {\displaystyle {\begin{aligned}K_{\rm {I}}&={\frac {4P}{B}}{\sqrt {\frac {\pi }{W}}}\left[1.6\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{1/2}-2.6\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{3/2}+12.3\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{5/2}\right.\\&\qquad \left.-21.2\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{7/2}+21.8\left({\frac {a}{W}}\right)^{9/2}\right]\end{aligned}}}where $${\displaystyle P}$$ is the applied load, $${\displaystyle B}$$ is the thickness of the specimen, $${\displaystyle a}$$ is the crack length, and $${\displaystyle W}$$ is the width of the specimen. In a three-point bend test, a fatigue crack is created at the tip of the notch by cyclic loading. The length of the crack is measured. The specimen is then loaded monotonically. A plot of the load versus the crack opening displacement is used to determine the load at which the crack starts growing. This load is substituted into the above formula to find the fracture toughness $${\displaystyle K_{Ic}}$$. The ASTM D5045-14 and E1290-08 Standards suggests the relation $${\displaystyle K_{\rm {I}}={\cfrac {6P}{BW}}\,a^{1/2}\,Y}$$where $${\displaystyle Y={\cfrac {1-a/W\,(1-a/W)(2-3/W+2.7(a/W)^{2})}{(1+2a/W)(1-a/W)^{3/2}}}\,.}$$The predicted values of $${\displaystyle K_{\rm {I}}}$$ are nearly identical for the ASTM and Bower equations for crack lengths less than 0.6$${\displaystyle W}$$.
