Abstract
Experimental results of quasi-static and dynamic fracture of particle-filled polymer composite (PFPCM) “ALTUGLAS EI CH25” with a matrix of polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA) are reported in this paper. PMMA matrix is filled with rubber particles, as result a shock-resistant transparent composite is produced. The main task was to investigate experimentally and theoretically the fracture toughness of this composite under static and dynamic loading. A high-rate loading has been created by impulse magnetic field. Analysis of fracture process and its relation with the load parameters and material microstructure have been established. Application of the original testing method enabled determination of fracture toughness at very short loading times and comparison of the results with material dynamic properties. Theoretical analyses are based in general on the notion of delayed fracture. More specifically, the theoretical analysis is based on experimental results and on the hypothesis of fracture incubation time, or delay time.
