The length of crack extension under stable crack extension is measured by digital image correlation technology and based on mixed-mode I/II fracture test. Quantitative analyses of the fracture properties are provided for thin sheet metals at stable crack extension under mode I, mode II and mixed-mode I/II loading conditions. The strain field of the crack tip at crack initiation is calculated by VIC-2D. It is suggested that the location of crack initiation is not at the crack tip. The fracture of recycled thin sheet metals is tough due to the large plastic deformation; mode I crack is the most difficult to extend; the load-carrying capacity is the minimum in 45° loading.

Study on the fractural mechanism of thin sheet metals focuses on how to efficiently fracture and recycle the scrapped vehicles and electrical equipments. By using the experimental fracture mechanics, the failure mode was studied for 10F rimmed steel sheets to be crushed and recycled. In-plane mode I, out-plane mixed mode I /III and mode III fracture tests were conducted under different loading angles. The effects and contributions of mixed mode crack extensions for 10F rimmed steel sheets were analyzed and some sensitive fractural factors were studied. The experimental results show that pure mode III is most viable to fracture the thin sheet 10F rimmed steels.

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.

This paper presents a study for predicting crack initiation angle in the case of mixed mode fracture i.e., opening and sliding mode. Experimental and numerical analyses were carried out using photoelasticity and ANSYS finite element program, respectively. Polycarbonate specimens with a thickness of 3mm and different angles of inclinations namely 0° and 22.5° were considered in this analysis. Predicting the crack initiation angles is dependent on the value of stress in the vicinity of the crack tip. As a result, stress intensity factor is considered as the most significant parameter in this regard because it represents the stress level at the crack tip. In experimental analysis Schroedl and Smith method is used to calculate the pure opening mode stress intensity factor (KI) and Smith and Smith method for the mixed mode case (KI & KII). Then, SIF’s for straight and inclined crack are determined numerically using ANSYS. After that, the values of stress intensities are incorporated in minimum strain energy density criterion (S-Criterion) to find the crack’s angle of initiation.

Real-time displacement in stable crack tearing was measured by digital image correlation technique. Quantitative analyses were provided on mixed-mode Ⅰ/Ⅱ fracture and critical CTOA for recycled thin sheet metals. It is shown that the fracture of recycled thin sheet metals is tough due to the large plastic deformation, and mixed-mode crack is easier to extend than mode Ⅰ crack. The critical CTOA at stable crack tearing is constant and can be used as a fracture criterion for the thin sheet metals.

Governing cohesive laws in mixed mode I+II loading of Pinus pinaster Ait. are directly identified by coupling the mixed mode bending test with full-field displacements measured at the crack tip by Digital Image Correlation (DIC). A sequence of mixed mode ratios is studied. The proposed data reduction relies on: (i) the compliance-based beam method for evaluating strain energy release rate; (ii) the local measurement of displacements to compute the crack tip opening displacement; and (iii) an uncoupled approach for the reconstruction of the cohesive laws and its mode I and mode II components. Quantitative parameters are extracted from the set of cohesive laws components in function of the global phase angle. Linear functions were adjusted to reflect the observed trends and the pure modes (I and II) fracture parameters were estimated by extrapolation. Results show that the obtained assessments agree with previous experimental measurements addressing pure modes (I and II) loadings on this wood species, which reveals the appropriateness of the proposed methodology to evaluate the cohesive law under mixed mode loading and its components.
