In this paper, governing equations and solutions for asymptotic singular and non-singular crack-tip sectors in perfectly plastic materials are first summarized under combined in-plane and out-of-plane shear loading conditions. The crack-tip fields under mixed mode II/III loading conditions are then investigated. An assembly of crack-tip sectors is adopted with stress discontinuities along the border of the two constant stress sectors. The solutions of the crack-tip fields under pure mode II, mixed mode II/III, and nearly pure mode III loading conditions are presented. The trends of the angular variations of the mixed mode II/III crack-tip stresses agree with those of the available computational analysis and the asymptotic analysis for low strain hardening materials. The pure mode II crack-tip stresses are similar to those of Hutchinson and the nearly pure mode III stresses are similar to those of the pure mode III crack-tip field of Rice.

In this paper, governing equations and solutions for asymptotic singular and non-singular crack-tip sectors in perfectly plastic Mises materials are first reviewed under combined in-plane and out-of-plane shear loading conditions. The crack-tip fields under mixed mode I/III loading conditions are then investigated. One assembly of four crack-tip plastic sectors is adopted with stress discontinuities along the border of two constant stress sectors. The solutions of the crack-tip fields under pure mode I and mixed mode I/III loading conditions are presented. The crack-tip fields under pure mode I and mixed mode I/III loading conditions give fully-plastic solutions with various hydrostatic tensile stresses ahead of the crack tip. The characteristics of the mode I limits of fully plastic crack-tip fields with different hydrostatic tensile stresses ahead of the crack tip agree well the past computational results under pure mode I with different constraint conditions.

Some results of 3D finite element analyses of the all fracture modes (AFM) specimen on mixed-mode II and III fracture are presented in this paper. The computational fracture analysis is based on the calculation of separated strain energy release rates (SERRs) along the crack front by the modified virtual crack closure integral (MVCCI)-method and the commercially available FE-code ANSYS. Calculation results show that under pure in-plane shear loading (mode II), not only the mode II, but also the mode III loading conditions, are generated owing to the Poission’s ratio effects. Similarly, under pure out-of-plane shear loading (mode III), besides the mode III, the mode II loading conditions are induced due to the global deformation. Nevertheless, once in-plane and out-of-plane shear loadings are superimposed, the fracture behavior appears more complex. Further discussion is given associate with some previous study.

In this paper, we first discuss some of the properties of the crack-tip sectors for perfectly plastic materials under plane-stress conditions. Then starting with the plane-stress mixed-mode crack-tip fields suggested by Shih (1973), we assemble these sectors in a slightly different manner from those in Shih (1973). The missing governing equations needed to completely specify the crack-tip fields for both near mode I and near mode II mixed-mode loadings are derived. The mode I crack-tip field, as the limit of the near mode I cases, differs from Hutchinson’s solution (1968) by the appearance of a small constant stress sector ahead of the crack tip. In addition, the relevance of the solutions of the near mode II cases to some interesting features of the mixed-mode crack-tip fields, as suggested by Budiansky and Rice (1973), is also 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.

In this research paper, the unstable fracture of 2024-T351 aluminum alloy is studied under a variety of in-plane and out-of-plane mixed-mode loading conditions including pure mode I and pure mode III loadings. A recently proposed loading device with compact tension shear tearing (CTST) specimens is employed for performing fracture experiments. Three-dimensional finite element analyses using the M-integral approach are conducted to derive the stress intensity factors distributions along the crack front for different mixed-mode configurations. The numerical results reveals that the coupled effect of modes II and III can be observed under mixed-modes I/II, I/III and I/II/III loading conditions. Furthermore, the values of stress intensity factors at the midsection of the specimens are used to predict the critical loads based on different mixed-mode criteria. A good consistency is observed between the theoretical predictions of the criteria and the experimental results for different loading conditions.
