“…Double-Edge Notched Beam (DENB) (Murphy, 1979), Center Slit Beam (CSB) (Murphy, 1988), Single Edge Notched Beam (SENB) (Hunt & Croager, 1982;Russell, 1982;Mall & Mol, 1991) are performed to analyze the mode II fracture toughness for composite materials and as well as wood and a number of metals. These configurations are somehow differ from the conventional test configurations often used for mode I and mode II fracture testing of brittle and quasi-brittle materials like glass, rock, concretes, some polymers, ceramics, graphite and etc (Bocca et al, 1991;Chang et al, 2006;Aliha & Saghafi, 2013;Berto et al, 2012;Gómez et al, 2009;Suresh et al, 1990;Akbardoost & Rastin, 2015;Afendi et al, 2013;Maccagno & Knott, 1989;Aliha & Ayatollahi, 2008;Rao et al, 2003;Lim et al, 1993;Negro et al, 2003;Awaji & Sato 1978;Aliha et al, 2017a-e;Mirsayar et al, 2014Mirsayar et al, , 2018Fakhri et al, 2017;Razavi et al, 2018;Heidari-Rarani et al, 2014;Ameri et al, 2012Ameri et al, ,2016Ayatollahi et al, 2011;Ahmad 1993). However, one of the undeniable mandatory information is estimation of material properties like shear strength.…”
