Abstract
A proposed edge-cracked Mode II fracture specimen is analyzed using an extended photoelastic-numerical procedure. It is shown that the Mode II stress-intensity factor is significantly higher for the longest edge-crack considered and the Mode I deformation is negligible, demonstrating the merits of this specimen for Mode II fracture-toughness testing.
