Fig.3 Stress evaluation near the crack tip by finite element analyses (FEAs)
(a) Analysis models: half-symmetric models with respect to the mid-plane of the specimen. (b) Stress distribution near the crack tip: the fracture of the specimen tends to initiate in the high-stress region. The fracture toughness estimation is performed using the analyzed stress distribution (Fig.2).
