摘要
The use of the J method to characterize fracture is described, and it is noted that smaller specimens may be used to obtain plane strain values than in conventional linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) tests. Various methods of computing J are described, and the extrapolations necessary to define crack initiation are discussed. The various schemes and size criteria are then explored for a polypropylene copolymer, and it is found that the recommended ASTM procedure using energy works well. The method is then used to characterize several toughened polymers, and some discussion of the slope of the resistance curve is given.
