The compliance calibration function for the clamped single-edge tension (SE(T)) specimen has not been reported in the literature. Based upon the inverse fitting of the three existing CMOD-based compliance equations, three CMOD-based compliance calibration equations are proposed for specimens with a crack length-to-width ratio 0.05 ≤ a/W ≤ 0.75. The fitting errors of the equations here employed are no greater than 1 %.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
