Abstract
The fracture mechanics behaviour of polymer materials has been intensively researched in recent years [1–4]. However, the test results have not been fully understood yet. Furthermore, the practical applications of fracture mechanics parameters to assessment of structural integrity are very restricted owing to their limited transferability from specimens to components. Moreover, with the exception of the ESIS TC4 recommendation for plastics [4,5], no standardized test procedures for carrying out fracture toughness testing on tough polymer materials exist, and hence methods developed for metallic materials have simply been adopted. All of this has induced great efforts to seek geometry-independent fracture mechanics parameters.
