โฆ Synopsis
Furthermore, we have proved that the null space of the linear operator of Piola-Kirchhoff stress history functional is the direct sum of the null space of linear operators for 6-D vector subspace N, and N,. Here we can naturally classify the fracture of isotropic material with memory into two types. The fracture is said to be normal and shear fracture, respectively, when N, = 0 and N, = 0. Hence the fracture criterion with respect to deformation is the condition on deformation gradient history that the functional of history of relative right Cauchy-Green tensor and present left Cauchy-Green tensor is singular, and the fracture stretching is a non-zero element on 6-D vector space of the null space of this functional.

The strain energy criterion for crack propagation proposed in the paper is based on the principle that the direction of crack propagation takes place along the direction where the distance from the crack tip to a certain contour line of constant distortional strain energy density is minimum, and the
The strain energy density factor or .S-criterion [l] has been widely used in fracture mechanics and our work confnms that it can be used to explain the cracking behavior of a homogeneous, isotropic solid. However, it was found to be inadequate for some composite materials and a new hypothesis called
Fracture tests of aluminum/epoxy dissimilar materials with an interface crack are carried out under comprehensive mixed mode conditions, using circular disk type (brazil-nut-sandwich) specimens under compression or tension loading in various directions. The stress intensity factors for an interface
## In this work, a new fracture hypothesis referred to as the Z-criterion is developed for mode III cracks in orthotropic composite materials. The new theory predicts critical crack propagation conditions and the crack propagation direction. The Z-criterion (Zhang et of., Engng
## In this paper, crack initiation is postulated to occur in the direction along which the tangential strain energy density factor possesses a maximum value and when it reaches a critical value in the angled crack problem. As a result of its examination, we can see that this criterion is able to b
