The purpose of this research is threefold. First, to provide experimental results of fracture loads for V-notched beams loaded under mixed mode. Second, to check the suitability of fracture criteria based on the cohesive zone model and strain energy density when applied to those samples. And, third, to suggest a very simple fracture criterion, based on the dominance of the local mode I, for notched samples (with different V-notch angles and notch root radii) loaded under mixed (I + II) mode. This proposal unifies predictions for the experimental results obtained under mode I and mixed mode loading. To this end, 36 fracture tests on V-notched beams were performed and reported: three V-notched angles were investigated (90A degrees, 60A degrees, 30A degrees, four different loadings (mixed modes I and II) were selected and three samples were tested for each configuration.

Abstract
The purpose of this research is threefold. First, to provide experimental results of fracture loads for V-notched beams loaded under mixed mode. Second, to check the suitability of fracture criteria based on the cohesive zone model and strain energy density when applied to those samples. And, third, to suggest a very simple fracture criterion, based on the dominance of the local mode I, for notched samples (with different V-notch angles and notch root radii) loaded under mixed (I + II) mode. This proposal unifies predictions for the experimental results obtained under mode I and mixed mode loading. To this end, 36 fracture tests on V-notched beams were performed and reported: three V-notched angles were investigated (90A degrees, 60A degrees, 30A degrees, four different loadings (mixed modes I and II) were selected and three samples were tested for each configuration.Pubblicazioni consigliate
