Mixed-mode fracture criteria investigation in a rock

Mixed-mode fracture criteria investigation in a rock Cracks in mixed mode condition are very common due to the stochastic nature of cracks and loadings. There are a number of criteria proposed for determination of the critical load and crack kinking angle in mixed-mode conditions. A detailed investigation of the widely accepted crack propagation criteria is presented and compared with experimental results available in the literature. It is shown that despite many criticisms and corrections, maximum tangential stress criterion still has a very good agreement with experiment and can be used to predict critical load. The deviations between different methods in predicting kinking angle are not significant, irrespective of dominant mode of crack. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png Strength, Fracture and Complexity IOS Press

Abstract

Cracks in mixed mode condition are very common due to the stochastic nature of cracks and loadings. There are a number of criteria proposed for determination of the critical load and crack kinking angle in mixed-mode conditions. A detailed investigation of the widely accepted crack propagation criteria is presented and compared with experimental results available in the literature. It is shown that despite many criticisms and corrections, maximum tangential stress criterion still has a very good agreement with experiment and can be used to predict critical load. The deviations between different methods in predicting kinking angle are not significant, irrespective of dominant mode of crack.
