Experimental and numerical investigation on fracture behavior of I-II mixed mode crack for commercially pure Titanium

Both experimental and numerical investigations are performed to study the fracture behaviors of I-II mixed mode crack for commercially pure Titanium (CP-Ti). Three different types of specimens are considered in this paper, including Compact tension shear specimen (CTS specimen), Four point bending specimen (FPB specimen) and Cracked central plate (CCP). Results show that there exist two fracture modes of these specimens, including tensile-type...
