Load separation is the theoretical basis for the single‐specimen J‐integral experiment and
the incremental calculation of J‐integral crack growth resistance (J‐R) curves. This criterion …

It is common practice to measure the fracture toughness of ductile polymers by the
incremental crack growth resistance curve, where J is plotted as a function of crack …

In this paper the applicability of the load normalization method to determine JR curves of
polypropylene copolymers (PP) is analyzed. This method allows the determination of …

Fracture toughness of ductile polymers can be measured by the incremental crack growth
resistance curve, where J-Integral value is plotted as a function of crack extension. The …

The characterization of the fracture behaviour of polypropylenes following standard
procedures is a complex task due to the difficulties encountered in the experimental …

Round robin tests carried out under the direction of the Technical Committee 4 of the
European Structural Integrity Society (ESIS TC4) have shown that, for determining the …

The application of an experimental approach based on the load separation criterion for the
determination of the point of fracture initiation in a fracture test on a ductile polymer was …

Material key curves are functions providing a relationship among load, displacement and
crack size, and are used in fracture mechanics methods for ductile polymers. This work …

In this work, the applicability of a procedure based on the load separation criterion in
determining the fracture resistance (J Ic) of a rubber modified polyamide 66 (PA66) was …
