ObjectiveTo determine and analyse the fast fracture and fracture energy for
different types of tape rolls like insulating tape, masking tape and
brown parcel tape.
Equipments and their assumptions1. Stand- Stand should be fixed and vertical without any bend.
2. Tape rolls- Three different tape rolls are required for the
experiment as in our case; the three different tapes are
insulating tape, brown parcel tape and masking tape. While
putting the load on the tape roll make sure it is stable and
does not shake and vibrate.
3. Loads- Increase the weight gradually and make sure that
tape will not vibrate.
4. Digital weighing, paper clip and load hanger.

Calculations
Strain energy rate is given by
Gc = Mg/t
where,
M is the mass of the weights and the load hanger
g is the acceleration due to gravity
Gc is strain energy rate or fracture energy
t is the thickness of the tape
Calculations
Calculation of Gc for insulating tapeGc = Mg/t
Given M=109.5 g
g=9.81 m/s2
t=1.6 cm
Gc =(109.5*10-3*9.81)/1.6*10-2
Gc =67.13J/m2
Calculation of Gc for brown parcel tapeGc = Mg/t
Given M=58g
g=9.81 m/s2
t=4.8 cm
Gc =(58*10-3*9.81)/4.8*10-2
Gc =11.85 J/m2
Calculation of Gc for masking tapeGc = Mg/t
Given M=123 g
g=9.81 m/s2
t=2.4 cm
Gc =(123*10-3*9.81)/2.4*10-2
Gc =50.27 J/m2
Results-
S no.
