Abstract: Using gauge field theory of defects,the effective critical extension force in elastic-plastic fracture mechanics was given.The rationality of logarithm of effective extension force as a linear function of the fractal dimensionality of the fracture surface was analyzed in theory. The explanation in approach to studying material toughness using fractal has been clarified.

Key words: defect gauge field, fractal dimensionality, critical extension force
