MODE OF FRACTURE
• Mode III.
Also known as the tearing mode, which refers to the
applied shear stress out of plane. Applied shear stress is
parallel to the leading edge of the crack.

Dividing C/ (π)1/2 and substitute √a with √ πa
σ y = σ 2ππxa βσ πa
C(a/L)/(π)1/2 = β.

Comparing the above equation with
σx = KI
2 πx The stress intensity factor is always:
KI = βσ πa
We get: σy = KI

K = σ πa
(note: β is a dimensionless parameter or function that depends on both crack
and specimen sizes and geometries, as well as the manner or load application
and also can be written as Υ or α).

Fracture toughness is a material property which characterise the crack KIC is usually measured
resistance and the value of KIC can be found by testing of the same under plane strain
material with different geometries and with combinations of crack
