Brittle fracture of components made of the general-purpose polystyrene and weakened by an edge U-notch under combined tension/out-of-plane shear loading conditions (mixed mode I/III) has not been studied yet experimentally or theoretically. In this research, a recently developed loading fixture is employed for experimentally investigating the fracture of U-notched general-purpose polystyrene samples with various notch tip radii of 0.5, 1, 2 and 4 mm when they are subjected to different combinations of tension/out-of-plane shear. The samples are fabricated with four different notch tip radii with the purpose of assessing the influence of this geometrical parameter. The experimental values of fracture load and out-of-plane fracture angle are theoretically predicted by the two stress-based criteria of point stress and mean stress lately extended to general loading case of mixed mode I/II/III. It is shown that both the point stress and mean stress criteria provide acceptable predictions to fracture behavior of U-notched general-purpose polystyrene specimens. The critical distances needed for the point stress and mean stress criteria are determined based on the experimental results of the U-notched samples tested under pure mode I loading. No meaningful difference is found between the fracture loads and fracture initiation angles predicted by the point stress and mean stress criteria. It is also observed that as the mode III contribution in the applied mixed mode I/III loading increases, a larger total external load is needed for the fracture of U-notched general-purpose polystyrene specimens to occur.

Creasing and offset printing are both examples of paperboard converting operations where the stress state is multiaxial, and where elastic-plastic deformation occurs in the thickness direction. Optimization of paperboard for such operations requires both advanced modeling and a better understanding of the mechanical behavior of the material. Today, our understanding and modeling of the out-of-plane properties are not as well established as our knowledge of the in-plane behavior. In order to bridge this gap, a modification of the Arcan device, which is well known in other fields, was developed for the experimental characterization of the out-of-plane mechanical behavior of paperboard. A fixture attached to the Arcan device was used to control the deformation in the test piece during loading. The test piece was glued to the device with a high viscosity adhesive and left stress-free during curing to achieve an initial state free of stresses. The apparatus proved to work well and to produce reliable results. Measurements of the mechanical behavior in combined normal and shear loading generated data points for the determination of the yield surface in the stress space. The elastic-plastic behavior in the thickness direction of paperboard was modeled assuming small-strain orthotropic linear elasticity and a quadratic yield function. Simulations using this yield function and an associative flow law showed good agreement with the test results.

In industrial processes, piercing and trimming are essential because composite structures are usually manufactured in a near-net shape to reduce machining operations. Punching and shear cutting using out-of-plane shear loading are expected to increase productivity. Nevertheless, little is known about the effects of such operations on polymer-matrix composites. This study presents on the characterization of piercing damage in typical carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP) cross-ply laminates [0°2/90°2]s after punching using quasi-static (QS) and drop-weight impact (DWI) loadings. During QS punching, the upper and lower ply interfaces delaminate due to the high shear stress to cut fibers and gradual shear deformation in the middle ply; however, during DWI punching at a low impact velocity, delamination of the lower ply interface can be reduced due to the localization of shear deformation, as compared to that in QS punching. Finally, the damage accumulation process during DWI punching is discussed.

<p><span>Rocks in the subsurface are exposed to high amount of confinement which can potentially suppress the formation or the development of tensile-based cracks and thus, give rise to shear-based fracture growth. However, measuring the shear fracture toughness of rocks have been studied less in the literature, as providing the required confinement to force the shear fracturing precede tensile fracturing is not an easy task. In the current study, two new tests namely the double-edge notched Brazilian disk (DNBD) and the axially double-edge notched Brazilian disk (ANBD) are proposed to measure the in-plane (true mode II) and the out-of-plane (true mode III) shear fracture toughness of rocks, </span><span>K</span><sub><span>IIc </span></sub><span>and </span><span>K</span><sub><span>IIIc</span></sub><span>, respectively. We use the term </span><span>true </span><span>to emphasis that not only sustains the crack shear loading, but also the type of fracturing is shear-based. Finite element method is used to study the variations of stress field around the crack tip in these tests and to prove the applicability of the tests in providing mode II and mode III loading conditions. It is argued that both tests are straightforward and have several advantages compared to the existing ones. The effectiveness of the tests is empirically corroborated by conducting some experiments on Bedretto Granite. The pulverized surface of fracture in both the tests denotes the existence of friction which indicate the shear-based nature of fracture. Finally, the measured values of </span><span>K</span><sub><span>IIc </span></sub><span>and </span><span>K</span><sub><span>IIIc </span></sub><span>for Bedretto granite are compared to each other and to the reported values of </span><span>K</span><sub><span>Ic </span></sub><span>in the literature. It is shown that </span><span>K</span><span>IIc </span><span>and </span><span>K</span><span>IIIc </span><span>values are close to each other while both are more than two times greater than </span><span>K</span><span>Ic</span><span>.</span></p>

The objective of this work is to develop fracture simulations of rubber undergoing a combined tensile and out-of-plane shear loading. Rubber sheets are tested under mode-I (opening mode), mode-III (tearing mode) and mixed-mode [I/II of fracture. The experiments are simulated in finite element software to evaluate the J-integral for each mode of deformation. Comparison between simulation and testing results are in good agreement. The simulations serve as test cases and evaluation tools for the development of mixed mode fracture criterion of rubber.
