Fracture toughness of materials subjected to a temperature gradient

A fracture criterion for crack initiation for nan-homogeneous materials based on mechanical properties is investigated in this paper. In this work polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) is chosen as the test material, since it is so brittle that linear fracture mechanics (LEFM) can be applied to its fracture...
