Abstract

Quasi-static cracking of several ductile materials with large fracture toughnesses and low yield strengths was described. Laboratory size testpieces with reinforcements provided by special test rigs were used. All irreversibilities and general yielding other than at the crack tip were successfully eliminated. Plane stress fracture toughnesses for alloys of aluminum and zinc, low carbon steels and polycarbonate were thus easily obtained.
