The image above represents fracture toughness on knoop indentor. To calculate fracture toughness on knoop indentor, five essential parameters are needed and these parameters are Indentor Constant (d), Elastic Modulus, (E), Indentation Hardness Value (H), Load (P) and a.
The formula for calculating fracture toughness on knoop indentor:
Kc = d(E)(P) / H(a)3/2
Where:
Kc = Fracture Toughness on Knoop Indentor
d = Indentor Constant
E = Elastic Modulus
H = Indentation Hardness Value
P = Load
a
Let’s solve an example;
Find the fracture toughness on knoop indentor when the indentor constant is 2, the elastic modulus is 4, the indentation hardness value is 6, the load is 8 and a is 3.
This implies that;
d = Indentor Constant = 2
E = Elastic Modulus = 4
H = Indentation Hardness Value = 6
P = Load = 8
a = 3
Kc = d(E)(P) / H(a)3/2
Kc = (2)(4)(8) / (6)(3)3/2
That is, Kc = 64 / (6)(5.196)
Kc = 64 / 31.176
Kc = 2.05
Therefore, the fracture toughness on knoop indentor is 2.05 J/m³.
