Abstract
An edge cracked semi-circular specimen subjected to asymmetric three-point bend loading was suggested for investigating mixed mode fracture in brittle materials. Using finite element analysis, the crack parameters were obtained for various crack lengths and different locations of loading points. It was shown that by selecting appropriate positions for the loading points, full mode mixities from pure mode I to pure mode II could be achieved....
