Study on Establish a Brittle Fracture Prediction Considering Different Crack Opening Modes Using Mixed-Mode Ratio

In this study, we propose a method for predicting the occurrence of brittle fractures in the beam-to-column joints of steel structures, considering different crack opening modes. We conducted experiments on beam-to-diaphragm joint specimens with varying plastically constrained cracks to reproduce br...
