A correction to the analytical solution of the mixed-mode bending (MMB) problem

Element-Free Galerkin modelling of composite damage

“…10, is, again, in excellent agreement with analytical solutions provided by Mi and Crisfield [20] for a < L, and Tenchev and Falzon [21] for a > L.…”

Building Delamination Fracture Envelope under Mode I/Mode II Loading for FRP Composite Materials

“…MMB test results were analysed using beam theory to calculate mode I and mode II fracture toughness and to obtain the energy release rates GI and GII under different mode mixity. MMB testing was developed through the works of [16][17][18][19][20][21][22]. In 2006, ASTM released a standard test method for MMB fracture toughness of unidirectional fibre reinforced polymer [23].…”

Analytical and numerical approach of an End Notched Flexure test configuration with an inserted roller for promoting mixed mode I/II

“…Blanco et al [9] proposed a solution for determining the distance of the lever arm in the MMB test with better accuracy. Tenchev and Falzon [10], presented an analytical solution for the MMB problem, when the crack has propagated beyond the middle of the beam.…”
