tensile notched specimens. In Negru (2015) it’s defined the inherent stress for the Theory of Critical Distance (TCD), an approach based on the same theory of SED method, they belong to the linear elastic mechanic fracture theory (LEFM). For comparison it could be seen that the inherent stress in TCD method σ 0,TCD is lower than the failure stress on blunt specimens σ t used in this paper, Table 6, which can be explained that the σ t is the stress on the notch tip, while the inherent stress is determined at a critical distance L/2 from the notch tip. However, both increase with increasing density. Two different approach give values of the tensions in the same order of magnitude, this confirms that it’s possible to apply the SED method on these type of foams and the tensions σ t is valid to be used for determining the SED parameters for all type of notches and cracks.
