The addition of impact modifiers such as CPE enhance the fracture toughness to PVC to the extent that higher design stresses can be applied to PVC-M pipes compared to PVC-U. However, the fatigue response of PVC-M and PVC-U has been reported to be ostensibly the same. In this work, the fatigue crack growth mechanism has been investigated to determin
