Foreword

This document complies with the provisions of GB/T 1.1-2020 "Standardization Work Guidelines Part 1: Structure and Drafting Rules of Standardization Documents".

Drafting.

This document is modified to adopt ISO/T S28660.2022 "Determination of JR curves for fracture toughness in plastics". The document type is changed from ISO technical standard.

The technical specifications have been adjusted to become my country's national standards.

Compared with ISO/T S28660.2022, this document has undergone many structural adjustments. A comparison of the structural numbering changes between the two documents is provided below.

See Appendix A for the table of contents.

The technical differences between this document and ISO/T S28660.2022, and the reasons therefor, are as follows.

---ISO 13586 has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 41932, and the normatively referenced ASTM D6068 (see GB/T 41932) has been deleted.

Chapter 3), to adapt to my country's technological conditions and increase operability;

---Additional symbols used in this document (see Chapter 4) have been added to the "Symbols" chapter to facilitate operators' understanding and use of this document;

---ISO 7500-1 (see 6.1) has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 16825.1 to adapt to my country's technical conditions and add [further details needed].

Operability;

---ISO 9513 (see 6.1 and 6.2) has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 12160 to adapt to my country's technical conditions, and the following has been added.

Operability;

---Requirements for specimen width and thickness measurement equipment have been added (see 6.4) to increase operability and facilitate the application of this document;

---Requirements for specimen crack length measurement equipment have been added (see 6.5) to increase operability and facilitate the application of this document;

---ISO 2818 (see 7.2 and 7.3) has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 39812 to adapt to my country's technical conditions, and the following has been added.

Operability;

---ISO 16012 (see 8.2) has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 44535 to adapt to my country's technical conditions and increase operability.

Actual nature;

---ISO 2818 (see 8.3) has been replaced with the normatively referenced GB/T 2918 to adapt to my country's technical conditions and increase operability.

Actual nature;

---Added requirements for the J-integral calculation of specimens with side grooves (see 9.2.4) to increase operability and facilitate the application of this document.

The following editorial changes have been made to this document.

---To align with existing standards, the standard name has been changed to "Determination of Fracture Toughness of Plastics - JR Curve Method";

---Appendix A (informative) "Comparison of Structure Numbers in this Document with ISO/T S28660.2022" has been added;

---Added Appendix B (informative) "Pre-cracks created by fatigue method".

1 Scope

This document describes a method for determining the fracture toughness of plastics based on the JR curve.

This document applies to tough and semi-tough polymers and their blends, but not to plastic deformation where the crack front and crack tip cannot be distinguished.

Materials in the shape of a shape.

This document does not apply to fiber-reinforced materials.

Note. The crack propagation resistance that cannot be characterized by the linear elastic fracture mechanics method of GB/T 41932 is characterized by the JR curve obtained by this method.
