Evaluation of crack propagation behavior of porous polymer membranes

This study experimentally and numerically investigated the crack propagation behavior of porous polymer membranes in order to identify the criterion for crack propagation. A notch was introduced into the membrane as an initial crack (pre-crack), and a uniaxial loading was applied to produce stable c...
