• Cracks, microcracks and fracture in polymer structures: Formation, detection, autonomic repair (2016, background): “The great advantage of EWF over the J-integral is to provide a clear distinction between the energy required to produce new surface (essential part: the work spent in the inner fracture process zone) and volume-related energy dissipation (non-essential part: the work spent in expanding the plastic d”
