Propagation of cracks in glassy polymeric sheets

Dimensions of the plastic zone occurring in notched samples under mechanical load have been studied using polyarylate sheets prepared from bisphenol A and an equimolar mixture of iso- and terephthalic acids. The results are compared with those obtained for sheets without the notch. Criteria have bee...

Description
Summary:Dimensions of the plastic zone occurring in notched samples under mechanical load have been studied using polyarylate sheets prepared from bisphenol A and an equimolar mixture of iso- and terephthalic acids. The results are compared with those obtained for sheets without the notch. Criteria have been obtained for the onset of fracture at a stable growth of the crack.
