What is another word for CTOD?
Pronunciation: [sˈiːtˈɒd] (IPA) 
CTOD, or Crack Tip Opening Displacement, is a term used in engineering to describe the amount of displacement at the tip of a crack in a material. This measurement is important in determining the fracture toughness of a material. Synonyms for CTOD include crack tip displacement, crack opening displacement, and crack mouth opening displacement. Other related terms in this field include J-integral, which is another way of measuring fracture toughness, and stress intensity factor, which describes the amount of stress present at the tip of a crack in order to determine the likelihood of its progression and failure. Understanding these concepts is crucial in engineering and material science for determining the safety and reliability of various structures.
