Statistical properties of microcracking in polyurethane foams under tensile test, influence of temperature and density
Stéphanie Deschanel, Loïc Vanel, Gérard Vigier +2
We report tensile failure experiments on polyurethane (PU) foams. Experiments have been performed by imposing a constant strain rate. We work on heterogeneous materials for whom th…
Slow crack growth in polycarbonate films
Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Stéphane Santucci, Loic Vanel +1
We study experimentally the slow growth of a single crack in polycarbonate films submitted to uniaxial and constant imposed stress. The specificity of fracture in polycarbonate fil…
Subcritical crack growth in fibrous materials
Stéphane Santucci, Pierre-Philippe Cortet, Stéphanie Deschanel +2
We present experiments on the slow growth of a single crack in a fax paper sheet submitted to a constant force . We find that statistically averaged crack growth curves can be d…
