An experimental study described in this paper attempts to compare the behaviour of both through-cracked specimens with different a/w ratios and surface-cracked test pieces. Results show that the material is more resistant to crack growth when the a/Wratios are less than 0.1, both shallow throughand
Fracture toughness tests have been carried out on two different heat-treated steels 60Si2MnA using both through-cracked specimens with different a/W ratios and semi-elliptical cracked ones with variable crack size and shape. Effects of crack depth and shape on fracture toughness have been studied. R
The effects of changes in molecular weight (7000 to 22,000) and strain rate (0.0001 to 4 min.-l) on the flexural properties of polycarbonate have been examined in detail with the use of specimens of different molecular weight prepared by high-energy electron irradiation. The results have been plotte
