Crack Lengths and Indentation Fracture Resistance Values for Vickers Indentations

12.3 KB of crack length measurements and resulting indentation fracture resistance (K_Ic) values. Crack lengths were measured from scanning electron microscope micrographs of Vickers indentations. The dataset was authored by Patrick Schmidt and last updated on June 4, 2026.

Use Cases

• Modeling material fracture toughness based on measured crack lengths.
• Correlating Vickers indentation patterns with fracture resistance values.
• Validating experimental methods for measuring crack lengths from micrographs.

Strengths

• Dataset is small (12.3 KB), facilitating quick download and inspection.
• Data is openly licensed under CC-BY-4.0 for reuse.

Limitations

• Row count is unknown, which may limit suitability assessment.
• Column-level documentation is absent; field semantics must be inferred after download.
• Description metadata is limited; actual data quality requires manual inspection after download.
