Abstract
A beam with square cross-section simply supported at the ends, cracked and loaded in the middle is considered in Figure 3.1 with the initial sizes shown. Geometrically similar specimens will also be considered by multiplying all the dimensions by the same constant factor in order to investigate the effect of scaling on the mechanics of fracture.
