Fracture characterization of nitrile rubbers using the J-Integral approach: Experimental Data

Load vs. displacement and CTOD vs. displacement raw data from fracture testing of single edge notch tensile (SENT) specimens reported in the following article. Each file contains data for a given initial crack length. Sample dimensions and initial crack lengths are given in the header rows of each file. L, W, and B are the length, width, and thickness of the SENT specimens; a0 is the initial crack length. Data required to reproduce the crack resistance curves (R curves) are also provided.
