Abstract

In this paper, first the fracture load, the crack initiation angle and the crack trajectory are experimentally measured for the round-tip V-notched Brazilian disk specimen made of polymethyl-methacrylate under compressive-shear loading. Then, the fracture load and the crack initiation angle are predicted by using the extended finite element method on the basis of the linear cohesive crack criterion. The fracture trajectory of the round-tip V-notched Brazilian disk specimens is also estimated by means of the extended finite element method and the incremental methods. Both the experimental observations and the theoretical fracture models indicate that although the notch bisector line is under compressive-shear loading, one half of the notch border still sustains tensile stresses and fracture takes place from this half. A very good agreement is shown to exist between the theoretical predictions and the experimental results for various notch opening angles and different notch radii.
