A critical review of fracture mechanics as a tool for multiaxial fatigue life prediction of plastics1

Plastics belong to the most complex and probably least understood engineering materials of today. Combining the best aspects of design, mechanical properties and manufacturing, the structural integrity of plastics is on par with aluminium and can in some cases even rival those of steels. One of th...
