With explicit restriction, the energy release rate principle in homogeneous anisotropic bodies is used to predict fracture strength of cracked unidirectional fibrous composite in mixed mode I and mode II loading. The range to which such prediction is valid in terms of the loading parameters (K I and

β¦ Synopsis
The J-integral is derived for mode I and mode II cracks in orthotropic composite materials and it is shown to be independent of the integral path around the crack tip. The J-integral is then extended and applied to a newly developed energy based fracture criterion for orthotropic composite materials and then applied to the mixed mode fracture analysis of composites.

A new path-independent contour integral formula is presented to estimate the crack-tip integral parameter, J -value, for two-dimensional cracked elastic bodies which may quantify the severity of the crack-tip stress ΓΏelds. The conventional J -integral method based on a line integral has been convert
In this paper the direct boundary integral equation method is applied to dynamic fracture mechanics, and the computational results are compared with experimental values. The comparison shows that the authors' computation is successful.
