## Absfraet -Brittle material fractures at a critical value of stress intensity factor or crack opening displacement (COD) without any prior crack growth. In the ductlk materials, however unstable fracture initiation may be preceded by a period of slow crack growth from the notch tip. Such slow cr
finite element analysis of the process of slow crack growth is made for center-cracked specimens subjected to monotonically increasing load until the point of fast fracture is reached. The formulation is based on an incremental theory of plasticity with isotropic hardening. Numerical results and exp
The following theoretical equation was obtained for the rate of initiation 6 of slow crack growth in polyethylene: where tr = applied stress, K = stress intensity, 7 = Poisson's ratio, E = Young's modulus, trc = stress to produce a craze, try = yield point, d = primordial thickness of the craze and
