✦ Synopsis

The fracture behaviour of a 0.5 mm thick ethylene-propylene block copolymer, previously evaluated using the essential work of fracture method, has been analyzed again in more detail, using different plots, allowing the determination of the crack initiation displacement and stress. In such plots is evidenced that the specific essential work of fracture, w e , corresponds to the energy just up to crack initiation value that can be related with J 0 . Also, it has been found a novel relationship between the plastic term, bw p and the crack initiation stress, r i .

Fracture toughness testing in the transition region often causes ductile tearing to precede cleavage fracture. The effect of ductile tearing on the fracture probability has in recent years become a subject of great interest. Briickner and Munz have developed a Weibull statistics based model to descr
