Experimental evaluation of CTOD in constant amplitude fatigue crack growth from crack tip displacement fields

In the current work an experimental study of the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) is performed to evaluate the ability of this parameter to characterise fatigue crack growth. A methodology is developed to measure and to analyse the CTOD from experimental data. The vertical displacements measur...
