A simple, nonstandardized material test specimen, which fails along one of two different likely crack paths, is considered herein. The result of deviations in geometry on the order of tenths of a millimeter, this ambiguity in crack path motivates the consideration of as‐manufactured component geometry in the design, assessment, and certification of structural systems. Herein, finite element models of as‐manufactured specimens are generated and subsequently analyzed to resolve the crack‐path ambiguity. The consequence and benefit of such a “personalized” methodology is the prediction of a crack path for each specimen based on its as‐manufactured geometry, rather than a distribution of possible specimen geometries or nominal geometry. The consideration of as‐manufactured characteristics is central to the Digital Twin concept. Therefore, this work is also intended to motivate its development.
