Zoom of the notch of the specimen with crack path trajectories. (a, b) Experimental results (reproduced from [36]). (c) Numerical results: case A, uniform temperature (25°C); case B, thermal load with E, σ0, δσ cr varying with temperature; and case C, thermal load with E = E(25°C), σ0 = σ0(25°C), δσ cr = δσ cr (25°C).
