TLDR
The question of load biaxiality strongly affecting almost all of the characteristics of brittle fracture behavior of a cracked body is investigated in this article, where the shortcomings inherent in both Griffith's global energy rate theory for crack instability and Irwin's local crack-tip stress intensity theory for fracture toughness are discussed.About:

Fatigue crack growth and damage tolerance
TL;DR: In this article, the authors discuss the difference between the analysis tools needed for ab initio design and sustainment, modelling of cracks that grow from small naturally occurring material discontinuities and ways to determine the short crack da/dN versus ΔK data from long crack American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) tests.

A.S. Chen,F.L. Matthews +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, multiaxial/biaxial loading tests of fiber-reinforced polymer-matrix composite materials are reviewed, and results of these experimental investigations under both monotonic and cyclic loadings are discussed.

Optimization of a Cruciform Specimen Geometry for the Identification of Constitutive Parameters Based Upon Full-Field Measurements
TL;DR: In this article, a methodology is proposed to optimize a specimen shape in a biaxial testing machine for the identification of constitutive laws based on full-field measurements within the framework of Finite Element Model Updating (FEMU) and Integrated Digital Image Correlation (IDIC), the covariance matrix of identified material parameters due to acquisition noise is computed and its minimization is the basis of the proposed shape optimization.

The Phenomena of Rupture and Flow in Solids
TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of surface scratches on the mechanical strength of solids, and some general conclusions were reached which appear to have a direct bearing on the problem of rupture, from an engineering standpoint, and also on the larger question of the nature of intermolecular cohesion.
