The stress intensity factor at the crack tip of a compact tension specimen is [4] = [() / / + / / + /] where is the applied load, is the thickness of the specimen, is the crack length, and is the effective width of the specimen being the distance between the centreline of the holes and the backface of the coupon.
Fracture toughness varies by approximately 4 orders of magnitude across materials. Metals hold the highest values of fracture toughness. Cracks cannot easily propagate in tough materials, making metals highly resistant to cracking under stress and gives their stress–strain curve a large zone of plastic flow.
Size and geometry also plays a role in determining the shape of the R curve. A crack in a thin sheet tends to produce a steeper R curve than a crack in a thick plate because there is a low degree of stress triaxiality at the crack tip in the thin sheet while the material near the tip of the crack in the thick plate may be in plane strain.
Consider a rectangular path shown in the second figure: start on the top crack face, (1) go up to the top at , (2) go to the right past the crack tip, (3) go down to the bottom at , (4) go along the bottom to the left, and (5) go back up to the bottom crack face. The J-integral is zero along many parts of this path.

Crack growth equations are used to predict the crack size starting from a given initial flaw and are typically based on experimental data obtained from constant amplitude fatigue tests. One of the earliest crack growth equations based on the stress intensity factor range of a load cycle is the Paris–Erdogan equation [2]
The season after that, NDSU went 12-3 and lost the FCS title game to South Dakota State. Entz’s move to USC came as the Trojans overhauled their defensive staff.
