Geometry and loading condition of cracked specimens may affect the fracture toughness
results and hence the evaluation of differences in measured fracture toughness values is …

Mixed mode I/III behavior of Perspex (polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA)) is studied
experimentally and theoretically in this research using a new and simple laboratory test …

In the present contribution, mixed mode I/III fracture toughness of a polycrystalline graphite is
studied experimentally, numerically and theoretically using a new designed test specimen. A …

In this work, some recent mixed mode I/II fracture toughness results obtained from Perspex
(or polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA)) with four simple cracked specimens subjected to the …

The cracked chevron notched Brazilian disc (CCNBD) specimen, suggested by the
International Society for Rock Mechanics for testing mode I fracture toughness of rocks …

This work presents an energetic continuum approach for the fracture assessment of rocks
containing U-shaped notches and subjected to Mode I loading conditions. Three different …

A review of some recent data from multiaxial fatigue data from different notched materials is
carried out in the paper. The approach based on the strain energy density (SED) averaged …

Fatigue life of different metallic materials under multiaxial loading is evaluated by employing
the critical plane-based criterion proposed by some of the present authors. According to …

Two stress-based failure criteria, presented in the past to study brittle fracture in engineering
components weakened by a blunt V-notch under mixed mode I/II loading, are extended in …

The main goal of the present research is to check to see if the recently proposed Equivalent
Material Concept (EMC) can successfully be used together with the well-known brittle …
