✦ Synopsis
The variation of the direction or, of crack propagation in mixed mode with the angle j? of the inclined crack is shown to fit very well to the variation of @, of the bisector of the angle of directions S,, and ff,, of max o, and sufficiently well to that of @,, bisector of the angle of directions & and r3,, of min zPO < 0 and max r,@ > 0. The variation of ocr/u~, causing initiation of propagation, with B as predicted by the max og criterion, fits very well to that of a critical loading evaluated by considering the combined "opening" effect of CT, and r,@ along the circumference of a small circle centered at the crack tip. The above results may be used as criteria of mixed-mode fracture based on r~, and r&,.

The determination of the direction 6, of crack propagation in mixed-mode brittle fracture is shown that can be based on the maximization of principal stresses. On the other hand, the corresponding load at fracture can be determined by summing up the projections of normal and tangential components al

Crack propagation in rocks is simulated by using a displacement substitution method based on a mixed mode fracture criterion. The main advantage of this model is that it can distinguish between mode I and mode II stress intensity factors simultaneously. A typical finite element program is used to co
