Fracture Behavior of Two Biopolymers Containing Notches: Effects of Notch Tip Plasticity

This paper analyzes the notch effect on the fracture behavior of two biomaterials (a brittle bone cement and a ductile dental material) under mode I loading. U-notched Brazilian disk (UNBD) specimens of both materials were tested under remote compression, determining the corresponding fracture loads...
