The maximum tangential strain (MTSN) criterion is modified in this paper to predict fracture
initiation in cracked specimens under mixed mode loading conditions. Theoretical …

This paper investigates brittle fracture in soda lime glass subjected to mixed mode I/II
loading using different fracture criteria. Different sets of mixed mode I/II fracture test data from …

The mixed-mode brittle fracture of two types of commercial graphite is investigated focusing
on strain-based fracture criteria. The previously published experiments using centrally …

Portland cement concrete (PCC)/asphalt concrete (AC) bonded components are seen in
both conventional pavement structures as well as overlays. Due to the environmental and …

The brittle failure of components weakened by sharp or blunt notches is a topic of active and
continuous research. Notches created during the design and manufacturing of structural …

This paper investigates the effects of the first non‐singular stress terms on the fracture
assessment of sharp V‐notches under mixed mode loading. First, numerical studies have …

This paper presents a modified maximum tangential stress criterion (MMTS) for prediction of
the fracture initiation conditions in kinked bi-material cracks. The criterion takes into account …

Fracture loads of engineering components with blunt notches cannot be evaluated by the
linear elastic fracture mechanics (LEFM) due to no stress singularity. In this study, an …

The effect of first non-singular stress term of elastic stress field near bi-material notches (I-
stress) on the fracture initiation angle is investigated. A modified maximum tangential stress …

A modified version of the maximum tangential stress criterion is applied to predict the kinking
angle of mixed mode interface cracks existing between two dissimilar isotropic elastic solids …
