The rigid cellular materials widely used for personal impact protection can be effective but tend to be inconveniently thick, and to be less effective after a first impact. A macroscopically structured panel material, molded as a two‐dimensional ma

Rapid crack propagation (RCP) resistance of bilayered pipes consisting of a polyethylene core and a polypropylene skin was investigated using the ISO 13477 Small Scale Steady State “S4” test. It was found that bilayered pipes met all the RCP requ

To support the selection of polymers for applications subject to impact, industry needs an international standard method for evaluating high-rate fracture resistance. As another step towards establishing one, three generic thermoplastics were tested

The appearance of new pipe materials has revived interest in the modelling of rapid crack propagation (RCP) along fluid-pressurized plastic pipelines. The correlation of results from two International Standard RCP test methods—one full-scale and pa

Pipe extruded from polyethylene of strength class PE100 was tested using the ISO 13477 Small Scale Steady State ‘‘S4’’ method, to investigate the effect of frozen-in stress on rapid crack propagation (RCP). It was found that the lower the res

A general model for NDE inspection techniques that predicts the probability of missing critical defects and misclassifying harmless defects has been developed. The model is exercised for the quantification of risks involved in v-butt weld measurement

Developers of polyethylene grades for pressure pipe seek a deeper understanding of the resistance of these materials to high rate, plane-stress fracture. The Reversed Charpy and ASTM F 2231 “Thin Charpy” test methods are designed to index this pr

The influence of molecular architecture on the rapid crack propagation (RCP) resistance of a wide variety of high-density polyethylene pipes was investigated. It was concluded that high molecular weight, high crystallinity and a relatively narrow mol

A tough thermoplastic polymer may show a transition to brittle behaviour when a skin of different properties forms on, or is painted or bonded onto, its free surfaces. A small-scale yielding, linear elastic analysis of the core material, in combinati

The effects of orientation by plastic strain on the impact fracture resistance of a pipe-grade polyethylene have been investigated. Isotropic samples of bulk polymer were subjected, by plane-strain compression, to uniform Hencky strains of up to ±40
