✦ Synopsis
Complex stress potentials are derived to obtain an analytical solution for the stresses in epicycloidal specimens which contain a dislocation[ The solution is used to obtain an analytical expression for the stress intensity factors of cusp!like cracks in such specimens which can be considered as a generalization of the well established concept of Gri.th cracks[ It is shown that by suitable positioning of the dislocation\ both positive and negative mode I stress intensity factors will result[ This illustrates the potential of epicycloid specimens for determination of fracture properties under compressive loading where frictional contact of the crack surfaces is a priori avoided[ Þ 0888 Elsevier Science Ltd[ All rights reserved

The method of complex potentials is used to obtain an analytical solution for the stresses in epicycloidal specimens due to point force loading. The solution is used to obtain an analytical expression for the stress intensity factors of cusp-like cracks in such specimens which can be considered as a
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
## Several theories have been proposed for the failure of metals, as well as for the angle of crack propagation in mixed mode loading. In order to demonstrate the validity of these theories, the majority of tests have been carried out with an oblique crack placed in a uniaxial stress field. Better
