Accurate experimental determination of mode I notch stress intensity factors (NSIFs) of
various sharp V-notched configurations using strain gages plays an important role in notch …

The effects of higher order terms (HOTs) on the stress distribution at the vicinity of the sharp
corner of two bonded dissimilar materials were investigated under pure out‐of‐plane (mode …

A weak form quadrature element formulation is established to obtain the coefficients of Mode
III crack-tip asymptotic fields. The problem domain is divided into circular subdomains near …

A rapid and appropriate evaluation of the crack asymptote coefficients is essential for
estimating the fracture growth in rock materials with inherent cracks and discontinuities. In …

Due to the significant difference between scales used in the laboratory and practice, the
fracture size effect is one of the most crucial issues in the field of fracture mechanics. This …

In this study, a series of tests on notched polyethylene (PE) plate specimens providing clues
to damage and fracture behavior for a wide range of Lode parameters was carried out. Two …
