of this type required the development and manufacture of special tooling for securing cylindrical specimens in the grips of testing machine during tensile tests. Tensile tests were carried out at room temperature and at the prescribed speed of grips displacement, which was 0.2 mm/min.

The stress intensity factor К 1С was calculated by the formulas presented in work [15] for a cylindrical specimen with a surface o-ring fracture subject to tensile stress.
