1、Designation:D504514(Reapproved 2022)Standard Test Methods forPlane-Strain Fracture Toughness and Strain Energy ReleaseRate of Plastic Materials1This standard is issued under the fixed designation D5045;the number immediately following the designation indicates the year oforiginal adoption or,in the
2、case of revision,the year of last revision.A number in parentheses indicates the year of last reapproval.Asuperscript epsilon()indicates an editorial change since the last revision or reapproval.1.Scope1.1 These test methods are designed to characterize thetoughness of plastics in terms of the criti
3、cal-stress-intensityfactor,KIc,and the energy per unit area of crack surface orcritical strain energy release rate,GIc,at fracture initiation.1.2 Two testing geometries are covered by these testmethods,single-edge-notch bending(SENB)and compacttension(CT).1.3 The scheme used assumes linear elastic b
4、ehavior of thecracked specimen,so certain restrictions on linearity of theload-displacement diagram are imposed.1.4 A state-of-plane strain at the crack tip is required.Specimen thickness must be sufficient to ensure this stressstate.1.5 The crack must be sufficiently sharp to ensure that aminimum v
5、alue of toughness is obtained.1.6 The significance of these test methods and many con-ditions of testing are identical to those of Test Method E399,and,therefore,in most cases,appear here with many similari-ties to the metals standard.However,certain conditions andspecifications not covered in Test
6、Method E399,but importantfor plastics,are included.1.7 This protocol covers the determination of GIcas well,which is of particular importance for plastics.1.8 These test methods give general information concerningthe requirements for KIcand GIctesting.As with Test MethodE399,two annexes are provided
7、 which give the specificrequirements for testing of the SENB and CT geometries.1.9 Test data obtained by these test methods are relevant andappropriate for use in engineering design.1.10 This standard does not purport to address all of thesafety concerns,if any,associated with its use.It is therespo
8、nsibility of the user of this standard to establish appro-priate safety,health,and environmental practices and deter-mine the applicability of regulatory limitations prior to use.NOTE1This standard and ISO 13586 address the same subject matter,but differ in technical content.1.11 This international
