A for all crack depths that are used for

compact tension specimen – the constraint parameter A is considerably lower SSY

fracture toughness determination.

Figure 4 : Dependence of constraint parameter A on specimen thickness / t W at the center of the crack front for ECP, CCP, TPB and CT specimens ( 10 n  , / 1.0 L P P  )

Figure 5 : Dependence of constraint parameter A on crack depth / a W at the center of the crack front for different specimens ( 10 n  , / 0.5 t W  , / 0.75 L P P  ).
