TOUGHNESS IN PLASTICS BASED ON FRACTURE SURFACE APPEARANCE

Abstract

Relationships between fracture toughness and fracture surface appearance in plastic materials were studied and reported on a number of years ago. The report recalls such studies in the light of renewed interest in stretched transparent plastics and shows the relationship which exists between fracture toughness and fracture appearance.
