Fracture Initiation in Notched Specimens Subjected to Compression: Strain Rate Effect

This paper shows the results of an experimental investigation on fracture in polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) notched specimens subjected to compression (with unloading) including different strain rates. Three types of notches were used. Flat specimens were weakened by two types of V-notches and U-not...
