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 …

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

In this study, the cracked straight through Brazilian disc (CSTBD) specimen was applied to
study the I/II mixed mode static fracture of diorite. The fracture load and fracture toughness …

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

This paper investigates the results of brittle fracture in rock materials subjected to the mixed
mode I/II loading using different fracture criteria. Two sets of mixed mode fracture test data in …

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

The fracture toughness of rocks is a critical fracturing parameter in geo-energy exploitation
playing a significant role in fracture mechanics and hydraulic fracturing. The edge-notched …

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) …

In the practical implementation of the Additively Manufactured (AM) construction in
engineering designs, Fused Deposition Modeling (FDM) is recently used to manufacture the …

A new test specimen for mixed-mode I+ II fracture studies is proposed. An extended version
of edge notch disc bend (ENDB) specimen, which was recently proposed to assess mixed …
