1 Scope
1.1 This document specifies the principles and the method for determining the fracture
toughness of polymeric films and thin sheets in the crack opening mode (mode I) under
plane stress conditions. The essential work of fracture (EWF) method is based on the use of double edge notched tensile (DENT) specimens.
