Fracture toughness is equal to fracture energy in LEFM?

Submitted by manooir on

Hi,

I am doing some test on the fracture toughness.

I am wondering if in Linear Elastic Fracture Mechanics, Fracture toughness of the material is equal to fracture energy or not?

Can anybody send me an naswer,

Thank you,
