A Novel Methodology for Calculating Crack Opening Stress under Tension-Compression Cyclic Load

<div>The geometric dimension of CT specimen. The specimen is established according to ASTM-E399, in which <i>W</i> is taken as reference size. The crack length is in the range of 0.2 to 0.5 times of <i>W</i>. The loading force is transformed into the applied pressure according to the size of the loading hole.</div>
