title = "Failure analysis of brittle elastic notched structures utilising finite fracture mechanics procedures",
abstract = "In this study, different types of finite fracture mechanics procedures to predict crack initiation in brittle elastic notched structures subject to mixed-mode loading are investigated. A hybrid failure model is employed taking into account the stress field in the undamaged structure and the energy balance for the formation of cracks exhibiting a finite length. Asymptotic formulations are compared to a direct numerical implementation. Experiments carried out on notched brittle specimens exhibiting various geometries and loading-modes are analysed by means of both approaches. It is found that the predictions from the model agree well with the experimental results. Furthermore, the dominance of the asymptotical formulations for finite geometries is discussed.",
