A novel method for the partition of mixed-mode fractures in 2D elastic laminated unidirectional composite beams

A powerful method for partitioning mixed-mode fractures on rigid interfaces in laminated unidirectional double cantilever beams (DCBs) is developed by taking 2D elasticity into consideration in a novel way. Pure modes based on 2D elasticity are obtained by introducing correction factors into the bea...
