In this investigation complex stress state is related to the stress state in uniaxial tension by use of the concept of effective stress from the elastoplastic theory. Considering that in metals the crack growth is usually accompanied by locally plastic deformation in front of the crack tip, and the

โฆ Synopsis
The bi-parametric criterion applied to mixed mode brittle and quasi-brittle fracture is based on the principle that the initiation of crack growth instability occurs when the maximum value of strain energy density, evaluated along the initial elasticcplastic boundary around the crack tip, is equal to the elastic component of the specific fracture energy in the uniaxial tension test for the smooth specimen. Therefore the crack initiation depends not only on the fracture toughness K,, but also on the parameter o when the inelastic deformation ahead of the crack tip before fracture is considered. o is the ratio of fracture stress to yield strength.
