Abstract
Comparative study on analytical method, simplified method and weight function approach for determination the double-K fracture parameters using three-point bend and compact tension tests specimen geometries is presented in the paper. The input data required for numerical calculations are obtained using Fictitious Crack Model. The study reports that the double-K fracture parameters computed depends on factors such as initial-notch length/depth ratios, specimen geometry and size-effect. In addition, it is demonstrated that the use of weight function will further improve the computational efficiency without loss of accuracy.
