In this chapter, we describe how fracture strength of materials was evaluated before the Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics theory appeared fifty years ago, and how this property is now currently evaluated. The fracture behaviors at issue are the three basic ones, i.e. brittle fracture, ductile tearing with or without instability, and failure by brittle fracture after some amount of ductile tearing.
