Determination of the critical stress intensity factor K/sub Ic/ from internally-pressurized thick-walled vessels

Book ·
OSTI ID:5486287
Stable crack growth is obtained by subjecting pre-notched thick-walled cylinders to internal pressure, with the bore jacketed to keep the crack faces traction free. The critical stress intensity factor K/sub Ic/ is determined from the pressure at failure. Results are presented for PMMA and a variety of rocks. 8 figures, 1 table.
