Abstract
In this investigation, fracture toughness was measured for three grades of nuclear graphite using three sizes of the chevron-notched short rod specimen geometry. Obtaining fracture toughness measurements that are independent of specimen size effects is a prerequisite to extending the fracture mechanics approach to full scale components.
