ABSTRACT:
An apparatus and method for inducing and measuring crack growth in a solid by using a double cantilever beam assembly which includes a fracture specimen with a notch that defines a pair of spaced outwardly extending beams terminating at an end where growth of a crack occurs, and a spring assembly for continuously urging the spaced beams apart with a substantially constant pressure that creates a spreading pressure at the end where crack growth occurs to stress the fracture specimen at the end. An electromagnet assembly is used to cyclically apply and remove the spreading pressure caused by the spring assembly.
