— An extended compact tension, EC(T), specimen has been developed for fatigue and fracture testing. The EC(T) specimen exhibits distinct advantages compared to other cracked specimen configurations, i.e., standard compact tension, single‐edge crack, and middle‐crack tension specimens. Documented herein are stress‐intensity factor and compliance expressions for the EC(T) specimen.
