Determination of mode I stress intensity factors of complex configurations using strain gages

This paper studied the applicability of the method of caustics to anisotropic materials under Mode I and mixed-mode static-loading conditions and introduced the procedure to obtain stress-intensity factors (SIF) in anisotropic materials by the method of caustics.
