Abstract The paper presents the mixed-mode delamination response of laminate plate made of two sublaminates. To this purpose a sliding load mode of delamination is proposed as failure model. A quasistatic rate-independent delamination problem of laminate plates with a finite thickness is considered. A rate-independent delamination model for a laminated Kirchhoff-Love plate is obtained. The failure model is implemented in ANSYS code to calculate the mixed-mode delamination response as energy release rate along the lamination front.

The evaluation of energy release rate with angle is still a challenging task in metal crack propagation analysis, especially for the mixed Mode I-II-III loading situation. In this paper, the energy release rate associated with stress intensity factors at an arbitrary angle under mixed mode loadings has been investigated using both a numerical method and theoretical derivation. A relatively simple and precise numerical method was established through a series of spatial-inclined ellipses in Mode I-II and ellipsoids in Mode I-II-III, with different propagation angles computed from simulation. Meanwhile, a theoretical expression of the energy release rate with angle for a crack tip under a I-II-III mixed mode crack was deduced based on the propagation mechanism of the crack tip under the influence of a stress field. It is confirmed that the theoretical expression deduced could provide results as accurately as the present numerical method. The present results were confirmed to be effective and accurate by comparison with experimental data and other literature.

A systematical study of size effects and mechanical behaviors for the nanocrystalline (nc) metals is performed. The grain boundary fracture process is considered and described by the mixed-mode interface cohesive model. The grain material is characterized by the conventional theory of strain gradient plasticity. In the present investigation, the effects of five important parameters on the overall mechanical behavior are studied systematically, which include the grain size, critical separation strength, energy release rate of interface separation, mixity of separation strength, as well as the mixity of separation energy release rate. A finite element method (FEM) covering the above characteristics within the grain and on the grain boundary is developed. The present results show that the overall strength and ductility of the nc metals strongly depend on the grain boundary features described by the mixed-mode cohesive interface model, and there is a competition of deformation of grain boundary with that of grain interior.

The paper reviews the numerical methodology to investigate fracture parameter namely energy release rate, G, of a mixed mode crack. An inclined, through, centre crack is assumed in a ductile steel plate subjected to bi-axial tension. Applied stress and crack size are suitably selected to simulate small scale yielding (SSY) condition at the crack tips. The cracked plate is modelled by finite element method. Both plane stress and plane strain situations are examined. G value is found from J integral. Equations of transformation are employed to obtain normal and shear stress in the plane of the crack. G is then again determined for Mode I and Mode II cracks by modelling each case separately. The analysis is finally validated by fulfilment of the conservation of energy release rate criterion, G (Mixed mode) = G (Mode I) + G (Mode II).
