摘要
The effect of notch preparation on the apparent impact fracture toughness of an amorphous nylon is investigated. Results on straight slot or chevron pre-notches and compressed, tapped, or drawn razor notches are described. Crack curvature can have a significant effect on the apparent toughness and this is a limitation on the use of tapped razor notches and chevron pre-notches. A correction of the stress intensity calculation for crack curvature is discussed. After correction there appears to be little difference between tapped, drawn or compression notched data. Annealing and side-grooving are also considered as ways of removing surface residual stress and, therefore, reducing crack front curvature. Side-grooving complicates the calculation of toughness and a correction is required.
