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

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
Many b&tie materials exhibit a behaviour whereby crack growth is accompanied by the development of a ligament zone behind the crack tip, the restraining stresses due to the crack bridging elements within this zone being responsible for the crack tip stress intensity (#C) increasing during crack grow
The problem of propagating crack characterization is examined for a case of a stochastic brittle medium. Crack-damage interaction and its influence on fracture kinetics are accounted for by means of continuum damage mechanics and stochastic values of stress intensity factor. The two-dimensional prob
## Abstract The property of environmental stress cracking is a critical performance factor in the polyethylene product areas of rigid and flexible containers, wire and cable insulation and pipe or conduit. It has been known for quite some time that the addition of an elastomeric material to polyeth
