Abstract
This study deals with the effect which defects built up in polymethyl methacrylate during 0–16,000 h of service have on its physicomechanical properties, fracture topography, and notch sensitivity. The trend of strength and plasticity characteristics is established as well as that of the coefficients of notch sensitivity as functions of the notch depth.
