Mixed mode fracture: numerical evaluation and experimental validation using PMMA specimens

Mixed mode crack propagation analysis has been more accessible with the development of new numerical tools, allowing to evaluate the influence of non-mode I loadings in the crack path and in the growth rate. The aim of this work is to analyse the propagation of pre-existing cracks under pure mode I...
