Mode I fracture mechanics has been relatively mature but mixed mode fracture mechanics
continues to present challenges, in particular for ductile materials under multiaxial stresses …

Abstract Mixed-mode (I/II) fatigue crack growth experiments in Al 7075-T6 alloy have been
performed using a newly proposed single edge cracked circular (SECC) specimen. An …

Damage tolerance philosophy and safe life design principles are widely used for critical
structural components, and in such cases, fatigue life prediction using the numerical …

The fatigue crack growth characteristics of a hollow impeller whose thin-walled web has the
propensity to nucleate multiple site damage (MSD) were investigated. To study its MSD …

Although numerous fatigue crack growth (FCG) tests have been conducted, the conclusions
drawn regarding the mixed-mode FCG rate are inconsistent and even contradictory. A …

This paper presents the results of an experimental investigation about fatigue crack paths
and fatigue crack growth on S355J0 steel subjected to I+ II and I+ III mixed mode conditions …

Structural components from structures such as bridge members are subjected to long
operating periods of time. The problem of fatigue cracks is more interesting in existing bridge …

The effect of single peak overload on the crack propagation of selective laser melting
Inconel 625 superalloy was investigated in this study. Irwin model and Shih model were …

Mixed mode I–II fatigue fracture of concrete is commonly encountered in practical
engineering. Accurate prediction of the fatigue crack propagation process and fatigue life is …

Details related to modeling and experimental analyses for a new type of specimen, which is
proposed to be used for mixed mode-I/II fracture tests, are presented. The specimen is …
