Abstract

Abstract The temperature rise at the moving crack tip in poly(methyl methacrylate), resulting from the dissipation of the energy of crack propagation has been calculated. At velocities below 1 cm./sec., conduction of heat away from the crack plane into the bulk polymer appears to prevent any appreciable temperature increase.
