“…The fracture toughness data were highly scattered and showed a strong sensitivity to notch [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31] and geometry dimensions [4,5,28] and strain rate [5,12,15,16,30,31]. In addition, some [4,12,19,33,34,35]. This so-called ductile to brittle transition regime behaviour complicated the application of the LEFM methodologies and was explained in terms of the nearness of the testing temperature to the T g of the PP homopolymer [1].…”
