Abstract
Commercial copy paper is a thin sheet material that has orthotropic constitutive behavior reminiscent of Al foils. Similar to Al foils, mode I crack tips in paper developed quasistatic, fully plastic, steady-state conditions even though plastic deformation in paper is not isochoric. The characteristic steady-state stress for crack growth depended on specimen orientation and contained a positive offset stress due to fiber bridging (σc=37.3MPa, σoffset=6.0MPa and σc=20.1MPa, σoffset=2.9MPa for the machine and cross direction orientations, respectively). Orientation-dependent, reversed plastic zones were observed in the crack wake and transverse necking fracture processes were not present.
