On the development of a direct method of determining the microcrack resistance curve
Abstract
This report deals with direct observations of microcrack linkage at the crack tip prior to macroscopic crack initiation. It is shown that this process is directly linked to the inclusion distribution in the material and can be considered in terms of an R curve to describe microcrack development.
