Proposal of New MOTE Methods for Brittle Fracture Toughness Determination

If more than one fracture toughness test is performed for the same material, representative value obtained from minimum of three equivalent (MOTE) in accordance with related standards. MOTE evaluated by referring to lowest results when number 3 5, second 6 10, and third 11 15. With conventional process, it clear, however, that depends on results. When comparing evaluation values 5 results, based statistically lower because both MOTEs refer value, while increasing will increase reference changes lowest. However, we are view should not affect value.
