Abstract— An extended compact tension, EC(T), specimen has been developed for fatigue and fracture testing. The EC(T) specimen exhibits distinct advantages compared to other cracked specimen configurations, i.e., standard compact tension, single-edge crack, and middle-crack tension specimens. Documented herein are stress-intensity factor and compliance expressions for the EC(T) specimen.
