Unfortunately PE--like many thermoplastics--also has relatively little resistance to plane strain fracture at crack speeds, exceeding 100m/s and temperatures below 0[degrees]C.
Uniaxial tensile properties underlying plane-stress rapid fracture ... by Ozbek, Pemra; Leevers, Patrick / Polymer Engineering and Science
For example, enhancements of up to four times over conventional properties have been found in indentation resistance (19-23), low velocity impact resistance (24), plane strain fracture toughness (19), and absorption at sonic and ultrasonic frequencies (25-28).
A novel fabrication route for Auxetic polyethylene, part 2: ... by Webber, R.S; Alderson, K.L; Evans, K.E. / Polymer Engineering and Science
Whilst strength and the stability of drawing determine the energy per unit volume of material in a relatively simple way (it is their product), the contribution of this energy to total fracture resistance must depend on the ability of plane strain fracture resistance: this must be large enough to generate a large (high volume) plane-stress plastic zone.
