Abstract:In this study, single-edge cracked uniaxial specimens with an initial crack length of 0.1 in. or 0.3 in. and wedge-shaped sheet specimens with an initial crack length of 0.3 in were tested at a constant displacement rate of 50 in/min under 1000 psi confining pressure. The specimens were made of a highly filled polymeric material, containing 86% by weight of hard particles embedded in a rubbery matrix, which was made of polybutadiene-acrylic acid-acrylonitrile rubber. The uniaxial crack growth data were used to… Show more
