Comparison of the reliefs of fracture surfaces in PMMA under static and cyclic loading

Polymer Mechanics Aims and scope

Abstract

Investigations of the relief of fracture surfaces in PMMA with the help of optical and interference microscopes have shown that there are no qualitative differences in the appearance of the fracture surfaces obtained under static and cyclic loading conditions. Quantitative studies have established that the size of the specular zone increases linearly with increase in the logarithm of the lifetime at a given test temperature. Other conditions being equal, in cyclic tests the specular zone is larger than in static tests. The results obtained are considered to be further confirmation of the validity of the theory that under any loading conditions fracture is based on the same thermo-fluctuation mechanism.
