Abstract
The correct short crack limit solutions for both the stress intensity factor and the crack mouth opening displacement are derived for the arcbend chord support specimen. This short crack limit along with the deep crack limit and the numerically determined stress intensity factors and crack mouth opening displacements are used to develop wide range interpolating polynomials that can be used to estimate these parameters over a wide range of possible specimen configurations and crack lengths. The polynomials are developed such that the limit for short cracks is the most accurate. More accurate expressions can be found elsewhere for crack lengths and specimen geometries more commonly used in fracture toughness determination or fatigue crack propagation.
