Extension of the Equivalent Material Concept to Compressive Loading: Combination with LEFM Criteria for Fracture Prediction of Keyhole Notched Polymeric Samples
This work analyzes, both theoretically and experimentally, the fracture process of square specimens weakened by keyhole notches and subjected to compressive stresses. Two materials are covered: general-purpose polystyrene (GPPS) and poly(methyl methacrylate) (PMMA). Firstly, the load-carrying capaci...
