The effect of relative humidity on the fracture energy release rate, G Ic , for single nylon 6,6 fibers has been determined previously. In this article, it is shown that G Ic is independent of relative humidity for moisture contents of ú 2.3% once the plastic zone correction is made. G Ic is compare
The energy release rate G is a measure of the elastic energy causing crack propagation whereas the fracture heat Q indicates the amount of energy dissipated in the fracture zone. As long as any change in structure and energy losts by elastic waves can be neglected, the fracture heat represents the e
In this paper we review experimental and field observations of the process zone, 4, size dependence in concrete and rock and suggest that a valid K,, test for such materials may require impractically large specimen sizes. Direct application of linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) to toughness te
