✦ Synopsis

In this paper, fractal geometry is used to modify the Griffith-Irwin-Orowan classical energy balance. Crack fractal geometry is introduced in the elastic-plastic fracture mechanics by means of the Eshelby-Rice J-integral and the influence of the ruggedness of the crack surface on the quasistatic crack growth is evaluated. It is shown that the rising of the J-R curve correlates to the topological ruggedness dimension of the crack surface. Results from fracture experiments are shown to be very well fitted with the proposed model, which is shown to be a unifying approach for fractal models currently used in fracture mechanics.

Rats were exposed to a 60-Hz electric field at an unperturbed field strength of 100 kV/m to determine its affect on bone growth and fracture repair. Exposure of immature male and female rats for 20 Wday for 30 days did not alter growth rate, cortical bone area, or medullary cavity area of the tibia.

## Abstract In this study we correlate parameters describing molecular structure (molar mass distribution, short chain branching content, intermolecular heterogeneity) of different ethylene‐hexene Cr‐catalyzed copolymers, with slow crack growth and rapid crack propagation resistances, respectively
