“…In fracture studies, it has been shown that the J-integral can be evaluated from experimental full-field measurements of the crack tip displacement [39], [40] or elastic strain field [41]- [43]. For conditions of small-scale yielding, the J-integral can be decomposed into the elastic stress intensity factors (KI, KII and KIII), by use of the interaction integral [44], to describe the opening, in-plane shear and out-of-plane shear of the stress concentration [45].…”
