A new testing method called punch-through shear test for measurement of Mode II fracture toughness, K IIC ; of rock is introduced. Results from a finite element modelling (FEM) and a series of laboratory tests on limestone, marble and granite are presented. Core samples with 50 mm diameter are cut t

Mode II fracture behavior of poly(butylene terephthalate) (PBT)-modified epoxy systems are studied. Two different types of testing for mode II fracture are conducted. One was to investigate the fracture behavior of bulk epoxy systems, in comparison with mode I fracture, using single-edge notched spe
A mode II fracture specimen has been developed from experimental and numerical investigation for applications with wood. Development centered on the compact shear specimen and addressed the extreme orthotropy of both the elastic and strength properties of wood. Mode II fracture toughness was assesse
