A GREAT MANY PLASTIC COMPONENT FRACTURES ARE READILY ANALYZED, USING BASIC OBSERVATION, ANALYSIS, AND SIMPLE LABORATORY TECHNIQUES. THIS PAPER PROVIDES A PRACTICAL GUIDE TO THE CONDITIONS AND CONSIDERATIONS OF FRACTURE IN PLASTICS AND THE BASIC TECHNIQUES AND ANALYSIS USED IN IDENTIFYING THE CAUSE OF FAILURE. THE GUIDE IS SUPPLEMENTED BY A SERIES OF CASE STUDIES WHICH FURTHER DEMONSTRATE THE PRINCIPLES DISCUSSED. A BIBLIOGRAPHY IS ALSO COMPILED OF REFERENCE MATERIALS WHICH FURTHER CONSIDER FRACTURE ANALYSIS TECHNIQUES AND/OR CONTAIN ADDITIONAL EXAMPLES AND APPLICATIONS.
