The work of Evans and Hutchinson (1989) on micromechanics modeling of combined mode fracture is used as the basis for proposing an expression for combined Mode I and Mode II fracture toughness of brittle monolithic materials as well as bimaterial interfaces. The results of the proposed expression are compared with experimental data.

The disk test in which a circular specimen with an internal crack is subjected to diametral compression is used to investigate combined mode I and mode II fracture. The stress intensity factors in the disk test are calculated numerically by means of the boundary collocation procedure and the dislocation method. Special care was taken to analyze the effect of the compression anvils. This method has the advantage, of allowing successive measurement of mode I, mode II and the combined mode fracture toughness under the same conditions. Some kinds of graphite, plaster and marble are examined to obtain the fracture toughness values, KIC, KIIC and the combined mode fracture criterion.

AbstractIn this paper, mixedmode (mode I + mode II) fracture toughness data are presented for the prediction of molding compound (silica filled epoxy resin) failure. The stresses necessary to cause the package cracking under mixed mode loading are experimentally determined. Measured toughness values are presented as a function of modemixity and temperature
