New test specimens derivable from cores are proposed by the senior author. The specimen is semicircular in shape with an edge crack, subjected to three-point bending. For mode I fracture, the edge crack is cut perpendicular to the bottom edge. Kinematics of mode I specimen have been investigated. Fo

Numerical and experimental studies were performed on a new fracture test configuration called the diagonally loaded square plate (DLSP) specimen. The mode I and mode II stress intensity factors were computed for different crack lengths and crack orientation angles using finite element analysis. The
The mixed mode bending specimen originally developed for mixed mode delamination fracture characterization of unidirectional composites has been extended to the study of debond propagation in foam cored sandwich specimens. The compliance and strain energy release rate expressions for the mixed mode
