The effects of frequency on fatigue threshold and crack propagation rate in modified and unmodified polyvinyl chloride

The cyclic fatigue crack behavior of polyvinyl chloride (PVC), with (PVC-M) and without (PVC-U) chlorinated polyethylene (CPE) impact modifier, was studied. The effect of impact modifier upon fatigue crack growth rate and threshold was evaluated at frequencies of 1, 7, and 20 Hz. It was shown that t...
