16. J, the nonlinear strain-energy release rate (rate of change in potential energy for a unit increase in crack area), characterizes the stress and displacement fields at a crack tip in a nonlinear-elastic solid and as such can be used to define the onset of fracture there.
17. The resistance- or R -curve provides an assessment of fracture toughness in the presence of subcritical crack growth. It involves measurements of the crack-driving force, e.g., K or J, as a function of crack extension (Δa). The driving force at Δa→0 is a measure of the crack-initiation toughness; the slope or the maximum value of the R -curve is a measure of crack-growth toughness.
