Abstract
Mixed mode ductile fractures in thin sheets are shown to be possible for two low carbon steels and two aluminum alloys. The staggered deep edge notch tension specimen allows the mixed mode J//C to be measured and to be partitioned into its component modes J//I//C and J//I//I//C by extrapolating the specific work of fracture to zero ligament length. For the low carbon steels J//C is shown to be independent of the mode of fracture, but for the aluminum alloys J//C is dependent on the stagger angle ( theta ). It is suggested that if necking is intensive and the strain hardening exponent (n) is low, J//C will vary with theta . If, however, necking is moderate and n is comparatively large, J//C is approximately constant.
