Simultaneously measuring initiation toughness of pure mode I and mode II cracks subjected to impact loads
In order to simultaneously measure the initiation toughness of pure mode I and mode II cracks in one specimen, a large-size double-cracked concave-convex plate (DCCP) specimen configuration was proposed. Impac...

Effect of loading rates on crack propagating speed, fracture toughness and energy release rate using single-cleavage trapezoidal open specimen under impact loads
The former studies indicate that loading rates significantly affect dynamic behavior of brittle materials, for instance, the dynamic compressive and tensile strength increase with loading rates. However, there...
