Schmit, D. Bouvart, D. Francois] The R-curve method was used to characterize the stable crack growth and the unstable ductile fracture of 3 mm thick polycarbonate sheets. In order to delimit the field of application of this method, several parameters describing the crack growth resistance were employed. The effect of specimen size and geometry was also studied. Besides limitations linked to test specimens size, the different parameters used are shown to aptly describe the tearing process of this material. When the plane stress region is dominant, the J-integral appears to be as a parameter well adapted to characterize ductile fracture. Kluwer Academic Publishers, 1990 Schmit F.
