Fracture of Adhesive Layers in Mode II
Measuring fracture properties of adhesives in Mode II is often problematic. Indeed, no method can today be regarded as established by the community. In this paper a number of methods are presented.

A thermodynamically consistent derivation of a frictional-damage cohesive-zone model with different mode i and mode II fracture energies [PDF]
The present paper deals with the derivation of an interface model characterized by macroscopic fracture energies which are different in modes I and II, the macroscopic fracture energy being the total energy dissipated per unit of fracture area.

Compression-shear fracture criteria for mixed mode I-II of open crack of rock-like brittle materials
In practical projects, structural fracture often undergoes complex stresses. The studies on the fracture mechanism of mixed mode cracks are of important theoretical significance and practical implication.

The influence of hydrostatic pressure on the interlaminar fracture toughness of carbon/epoxy composites [PDF]
The use of composites for deep sea applications requires a thorough understanding of the behaviour of these materials. While several studies have examined the influence of pressure on in-plane properties few data are available for the interlaminar ...

Investigation of Mixed-Mode I/II Fracture under Impact Loading Using Split-Hopkinson Pressure Bar
Mixed-mode fracture of construction building materials under impact loading is quite common in civil engineering. The investigation of mixed-mode crack propagation behavior is an essential work for fundamental research and engineering application.
