Abstract

Defines a method for the determination of the plane-strain crack-arrest fracture toughness, K[Ia], of polymeric materials by the use of a side-grooved, crack-line-wedge-loaded compact tension specimen to obtain a rapid run-arrest segment of flat-tensile separation with a satisfactory crack front.
