==J-Integral evaluation method – Compliance method==

[[J-Integral Evaluation Methods (Overview)|J-integral evaluation methods]] are used for the determination of fracture mechanical values according to the [[J-Integral Concept | J-integral concept]] [1].

The first proposal for the experimental determination of ''J''IC was made by Begley and Landes [2, 3] and is based on the energetic interpretation of the ''J''-integral according to Rice in the following form:

{|
|-
|width="20px"|
|width="500px" | <math> J_{I}=-\frac{1}{B}\frac{\partial A}{\partial a}</math>
|}

This method is also referred to in the literature as the evaluation method according to [[BEGLEY and LANDES – J-Integral Estimation Method | BEGLEY and LANDES]]. Here it is called the J-compliance method for differentiation.

==Implementation of the compliance method==

The procedure of the J-compliance method is to be illustrated using the example of impact load (F)–deflection (f) diagrams recorded in the [[Instrumented Charpy Impact Test|instrumented Charpy impact test (ICIT)]] ('''Fig. 1a to 1c''').

To carry out the procedure, load–deflection diagrams ('''Fig. 1a''') are recorded on several test [[Specimen | specimens]] with different notch depths (in '''Fig. 1''', this is limited to three test specimens). The energy ''A''G is determined by integrating the area under the ''F''–''f'' curve for certain ''f''i values and the ratio ''A''G/B is shown as a function of the crack length (notch depth) ('''Fig. 1b''').

A graphical differentiation ('''Fig. 1c''') of these curves yields ''J''I as a function of ''f''i, from which the critical ''J''Ic values can be obtained after measuring the deflection at the moment of unstable [[Crack Propagation | crack propagation]].

==Accuracy of the compliance method==

In [1], ''J'' COM values determined using the J-compliance method on two plastics and ''J'' FEM values calculated using the finite element method (FEM) were compared as a function of the crack length. An overestimation of the toughness was found for the ''J'' COM values for small crack lengths and an underestimation of the toughness for a crack length (''a'')/specimen width (''W'') ratio of ''a''/''W'' > 0.2, which was attributed to an insufficient consideration of the limited specimen geometry.
A significant disadvantage of this method is the high number of test specimens required.
