Oblique edge crack in an orthotropic material under thermal loading

Study of the fracture behaviour in hybrid fibers reinforced thermoplastic laminates: Influence of temperature and initial notch orientation

“…The question of mixed mode fracture has already been specifically addressed in the literature, though most references focus on the analytical formulation of stress intensity factors for an inclined edge crack in orthotropic materials subjected to point forces. Based on weight functions and boundary element method, the mixed-mode stress intensity factor is computed in two-dimensional cracked bodies [16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23][24][25]. Most references available in the literature deal with tensile or bending specimens with 0 • oriented initial notches [26][27] or 45 • oriented notch [12,15,[28][29].…”
