Abstract
The fracture behavior of a polyurethane elastomer in a hydrostatic tensile field has been experimentally studied via the ``poker-chip test.'' Microscopic examination of the material revealed residual gaseous bubbles, which were taken as fracture nucleation points. A study of the cavity behavior up through fracture initiation and propagation led to a determination of the fracture stress level, the identification of two regimes, or modes, of fracture, and the associated velocities of propagation.This publication has 4 references indexed in Scilit:
