Abstract
Abstract The present study is focused on the application of the normalization method (NM) to develop the J-integral resistance (J-R) curve based on the clamped single-edge (notched) tension (SE(T)) specimen. The investigation involves experimental data obtained from six previously tested SE(T) specimens and 3-D finite element analyses that employ the Gurson-Tvergaard-Needleman constitutive model and computational cell methodology. The results of the investigation indicate that the NM method is a viable alternative for developing the J-R curve using the SE(T) specimen. A so-called k factor is proposed to further improve the computational efficiency of the NM method for the SE(T) specimen.
