Experimental characterisation of fatigue crack growth based on the CTOD measured from crack tip displacement fields using DIC

The current work presents an experimental study on the use of the crack tip opening displacement (CTOD) to evaluate its ability to characterise fatigue crack growth. A methodology is developed to measure and to analyse the CTOD from experimental data. The vertical displacements obtained by implemen...
