Abstract
The averaged strain energy density over a well-defined control volume was employed to predict the fracture loads. A numerical approach was used to determine the outer boundary of the control volume. Besides, the effect of notch geometry (notch tip radius, notch depth, and notch opening angle) on fracture load was elaborated. This study demonstrates that SED works well on VO-notched FGM specimens under mode I loading.
