Abstract
Experimental results due to several different investigators on the K I — ȧ relationship are reviewed and the apparent differences in results leading to questions regarding the uniqueness of this relationship are discussed. The influence of the errors due to the three dimensional state of stress at the crack tip, the effects of non-singular stresses, velocity, transient loading and velocity measurement is presented. These errors have obscured resolution of the uniqueness question and an experiment is described to resolve the issue.
