Novel micro-scale specimens for mode-dependent fracture testing of brittle materials: A case study on GaAs single crystals

To study microscale fracture behavior under mode II and mode III loading new sample geometries are proposed. Finite element simulations were carried out to determine the mode I, II and III stress intensity factor distributions over the sample width as well as the geometry factors. Notched samples we...
