Crack size independence of the crack driving force in the buckled plate specimen

A new fracture mechanics specimen, the buckled plate specimen, has been developed with the attractive property that the crack driving force is independent of crack size during constant deflection tests. The mechanics analysis and results of Igepal assisted slow crack growth in polyethylene are prese...

Description
Summary:	A new fracture mechanics specimen, the buckled plate specimen, has been developed with the attractive property that the crack driving force is independent of crack size during constant deflection tests. The mechanics analysis and results of Igepal assisted slow crack growth in polyethylene are presented as verification. 13 ref.--AA
