The failure of aluminum compact shear specimens under mixed mode loading

Conference ·
OSTI ID:6718057
The failure behavior of 7075-T6 aluminum under combined Mode I and Mode II loading was investigated using the compact shear specimen. A limited number of additional mixed mode fracture tests were performed on an epoxy resin. The objective of the investigation was to determine the effects of mixed Mode I and Mode II loading on the failure behavior of these materials, considering such effects as the relationship between specimen geometry and failure loads, data reduction methods, crack growth versus limit load shear failure, and the direction of crack growth for mixed mode loading.
