\(\begin{array}{c}\eta \mathrm{=}\frac{\mathrm{2a}}{W}\\ \beta \mathrm{=}\frac{L}{W}\\ {K}_{\mathit{II}}\mathrm{=}\frac{{\alpha }_{11}{T}_{0}}{{S}_{11}}\mathrm{\cdot }\sqrt{\frac{W}{2}}\mathrm{\cdot }{F}_{\mathit{II}}\end{array}\)
where the geometric correction factor \({F}_{\mathit{II}}\) is given as a function of \(\eta\) for each material, in the particular case \(\beta \mathrm{=}0.5\) on the curves below.
