Expert Commentary
Benchmarks the Plane-Strain Fracture Toughness (KIC) and Strain Energy Release Rate (GIC) of Plastic Materials. This is a high-level fracture mechanics test using Compact Tension or Three-Point Bend specimens with a pre-crack. The engineering requirement is the Crack-Tip Sharpness. MTO provides the Razor-Blade tapping jigs required to create an atomically sharp crack. Our software automates the complex geometric correction factors needed to derive the material’s inherent resistance to crack propagation.
