Characterising the environmental stress cracking behaviour of thermoplastics : a fracture mechanics approach
Environmental stress cracking (ESC) is a slow crack growth process which affects thermoplastics. It occurs under the combined effect of applied stress and an ingressing environment, without large-scale diffusion or chemical reaction. This thesis focusses on the development of a fracture mechanics te...
