- We present a novel and straightforward experimental method for determining the fracture toughness of soft solids which leads to more accurate data whilst requiring simpler measurements than current methods. The work was developed in a project funded by Mars Petcare (£150k, contact: FoEREF@ic.ac.uk) who have implemented the method into their product design. This paper was presented in a plenary lecture for the “INNFM 2017 International Conference”, Lake Vyrnwy, UK.
