A theoretical analytical solution of the Christopher-James-Patterson (CJP) model in mixed
mode is presented in this paper, where the influence of roughness-induced crack closure …

Strain energy release rate (SER) in conjunction with reinforcement isotropic solid (RIS)
model is employed to propose a new fracture criterion in mixed-mode I/II loading named …

A new mixed mode I/II fracture criterion based on strain energy release rate theory is
proposed for investigating fracture behavior in cracked functionally graded materials. In this …

This work uses the M-theta method on a new proposed specimen called" I-specimen" for the
numerical modeling of cracks on some tropical hardwoods in general and in particular on …

In this study, the pure mode I, pure mode II and mixed mode I/II fracture behavior of a
laminated unidirectional (UD) long glass fiber epoxy composite was investigated. The …

Asymmetric four-point bend fracture (AFPBF) tests and three-point bend end-notched flexure
(3ENF) tests were performed on groove-free and side-grooved samples of western hemlock …

Mixed-mode bending, double cantilever beam, and end-notched flexure tests were
conducted using specimens of spruce, and the initiation and propagation fracture toughness …

The cracking properties in opening mode of three tropicals species from the Gabonese
forest, namely Iroko (Milicia Excelsa), Okume (Aucoumea klaineana Pierre), and Padouk …

An essential study in the discourse surrounding composite materials is the investigation of
their fracture mechanics due to the intricate nature of composite structures, it is necessary to …

This chapter covers recent developments in the application of fracture mechanics methods
to adhesive joints. The focus is on novel experimental methods and specimen types in …
