Al~traet--Fracture Mechanics of Ductile Metals (FMDM) theory is used to obtain the plane strain fracture toughness, K~, for different materials. The traditional approach for obtaining the K~ value is to conduct several standard tests on cracked plates that are costly and time consuming. The fracture
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 e
Experimental data obtained from 25 mm thick Comsteel En25 compact tension specimens tempered from the as-quenched state to 650Β°C showed that the ASTM Standard, E399-74, specimen size and plasticity requirements were not able to detect excessive yielding and thus the onset of true plane-strain condit
