Abstract
Crack opening displacement (COD) on double edge notched (DEN), single edge notched (SEN) and center notched (SCN) specimens with various crack length was quantitatively analyzed by using video-microscopy for a machine-grazed paper. A linear relationship appears between COD and the distance from the crack tip throughout the testing period for all specimens. The COD-clamp displacement relationship seems to consist of three linear segments and the transitional point between the second and the third segment is identified as the onset of crack propagation for all specimens. Thus, CTOD at the onset of crack propagation (CTODc) can be determined despite of specimen geometry and crack length. Specimen geometry a little affects CTODc for the paper tested.
