Original Abstract

A multi-parameter fracture mechanics concept based on the Williams power series is applied on novel cracked specimen geometries utilizing combined boundary conditions of the wedge splitting and the three-point bending test. Crack tip stress fields for various configurations (causing different constraint conditions at the crack tip and thus also different fracture process zone extents) are numerically investigated and subsequently analytically reconstructed using developed procedure. An importance of using higher order terms of the Williams series is demonstrated.
