Fracture criteria play a very important role in predicting crack propagation behavior and life
evaluation of cracked bodies. In this paper, mixed mode I-II fracture criteria in the framework …

Every year, millions of people in the world get bone diseases and need orthopedic surgery
as one of the most important treatments. Owing to their superior properties, such as …

Understanding the inconsistent rock fracture toughness (K Ic) measurement results from
different test specimen geometries helps provide suitable fracture parameters for …

Evaluating the fracture resistance of rocks is essential for predicting and preventing
catastrophic failure of cracked structures in rock engineering. This investigation developed a …

Mixed mode brittle fracture behaviour of granite rock is studied experimentally and
theoretically using Asymmetric Four Point Bend (AFPB) specimens containing pre-cracks …

The effects of specimen geometry on mode I and mode II fracture toughness (ie, K Ic and K
IIc), and the ratio of K IIc to K Ic for a given rock material were derived on the basis of a …

This paper investigates the effect of loading rate on the mixed-mode I/II fracture behavior of
PolymethylMethacrylate (PMMA). Experimental studies are performed using a novel fracture …

Mechano-bactericidal effects exhibited by specific nano-patterns have brought in the
prospect of develo** sustainable antibacterial materials. Contrary to the standard …

This study investigates the fracture behavior of thick adhesive joints manufactured with
composite adherends and bonded with an epoxy-based structural adhesive common to the …

In fracture mechanics, the use of experimental tests are fundamental to characterize the
material properties in terms of crack initiation and propagation behavior. When modeled in …
