Abstract
In this paper, the fracture criterion for rectangular grooved beam-like testpieces under several loading conditions has been analysed using a simple beam-on-elastic foundation model. Experiments have shown that the model is adequate for describing quasi-static fracture in such test geometries. In addition, the crack stability conditions under both load-controlled and displacement-controlled testing machines are presented.
