The concepts of elastic—plastic fracture mechanics have proved their worth in to characterizing the toughness of thermoplastic polymers. Two different parameters can be used for the characterization of the elastic—plastic material behaviour. These are the energy-determined J-integral and the deformation-determined critical crack-opening displacement.
