In this paper, mixed mode I/II fracture toughness of jute fiber-reinforced concrete is
investigated experimentally using a large number of cracked semi-circular bend (SCB) …

The present paper deals with multiaxial fatigue behaviour of severely notched components
made of titanium grade 5 alloy (Ti–6Al–4V). The experimental tests have been carried out …

The existence of three-dimensional effects at cracks has been known for many years, but
understanding has been limited, and for some situations still is. Despite increased …

The present paper summarizes some recent experimental, theoretical and numerical results
on brittle fracture of isostatic polycrystalline graphite. The analyses have been carried out on …

The present paper reports some experimental, theoretical and numerical results on brittle
fracture of notched components made of Polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA). First, fracture …

The effect of initial notch depth ratios (a/h) on the mode I and mixed mode I-II fracture
properties of ECC was studied by using three-point bending test and four-point shear test …

The aim of this paper is to present a new approach for predicting the mixed-mode fracture
resistance of rock-type specimens containing U-shaped notches. The new approach is a …

This work aims to analyse the fracture behaviour of rocks with U-shaped notches subjected
to mode I loading and to different temperature conditions. To this end, an energy-based …

Different criteria are available in the literature to assess the fracture behaviour of sharp V-
notches. A typical and well-known criterion is based on the application of the Notch Stress …

Magnesium alloys have drawn the attention of many industries due to their outstanding
properties and lightweight. ZK60 is one of the most commonly used commercial magnesium …
