This paper provides a study on mixed-mode fracture mechanics in thin-walled tube which is subjected to tension, shear and torsion loading. This type of loading causes an inclined crack to develop and generate a mixture of normal and shear stresses ahead of a crack tip. The stress state ahead of a crack tip is frequently based on mixed-mode type of interactions which designate the amplitude of the crack tip stresses. The analytical expressions for the stress intensity factors for mixed-mode I + II approach are presented. The Paris law for mixed-modes I + II has been discussed. Mixed-mode fracture mechanics is used with theoretical models to predict the path of crack growth when an inclined crack is subjected to a combination of mode I and mode II deformations. The torque at which crack propagation can be expected has been determined. The numerical calculations have been carried out by using MATLAB code. The results are good and could be useful for companies working with thin-walled circular tubes.

The aim of this study was to examine the effect of size on the mixed-mode fracture toughness of quasi-brittle nanocomposites with the help of modified maximum tangential stress criterion. The literature reveals that the effect of size on mixed-mode fracture behavior of brittle nanocomposites has not been well investigated previously using modified maximum tangential stress criterion. The studied nanocomposites were made of epoxy resin reinforced with 7 wt%, 20–30 nm nanosilica. The accuracy of the method was assessed by taking into account the high-order terms of Williams series expansion along with finite element over-deterministic method. To investigate the effect of size on fracture toughness, a number of three-point semi-circular bending tests with different radii and four angles of edge–crack orientation were conducted and subjected to mixed-mode loading. The size of fracture process zone and apparent fracture toughness ( Kc) were also evaluated as a function of sample size. Experimental results showed that the proposed approach can accurately predict the fracture behavior of studied nanocomposites.
