## Several theories have been proposed for the failure of metals, as well as for the angle of crack propagation in mixed mode loading. In order to demonstrate the validity of these theories, the majority of tests have been carried out with an oblique crack placed in a uniaxial stress field. Better

✦ Synopsis
A series of studies which demonstrate the potential of a proposed mode I1 fracture specimen are reported. First, previously obtained photoelastie results&31 are reviewed so that this paper will be self-contained. Then, a finite element analysis is presented in order not only to corroborate the experimental results but also to calibrate the specimen for Kuc measurements. Finally, a preliminary KII~ test performed on a brittle steel specimen is described.

Recent evidence has pointed to the possible inadequacy of elastodynamic treatments of rapid crack propagation and crack arrest. This paper describes the development of a dynamic elastic-plastic finite element capability designed to address this concern by taking direct account of crack tip plasticit
