Geometry Effects on Mode I Brittle Fracture in VO-Notched PMMA Specimens

Geometry Effects on Mode I Brittle Fracture in VO-Notched PMMA Specimens

This paper gathers experimental and theoretical investigations about both the geometry-dependent fracture initiation angle and the fracture strength in VO-notched polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) specimens under mode I loading conditions. The numerical analyses revealed that despite the application of...
