Abstract
In this paper, as elastic-plastic fracture toughness test under mixed mode loading was proposed using a single edge-cracked specimen subjected to bending moment(M), shearing force(F), and twisting moment(T). The J-integral of a crack in the specimen is expressed in the form J=$\small{J_I}$+ $J_II$, where $\small{J_I}$, $\small{J_II}$ and $\small{J_III}$ are the components of mode I, mode II and mode III deformation, respectively. $\small{J_I}$, $\small{J_II}$ and $\small{J_III}$ can be estimated from M-$\small{\theta}$ ($\small{\theta}$;crack opening angle), F-U(U; crack shear displacement) and T-$\small{\alpha}$ ($\small{\alpha}$;crack twisting angle). In order to obtain the the M<-TEX>$\theta$, F-U and T-$\small{\alpha}$ diagram inreal time, a new deformaiton gage for mixed mode loading was proposed using the optical position sensing device(PSD). The elastic-plastic fracture toughness test was carried out with an aluminum alloy. The loading apparatus was designed and manufactured for this experiment. For the loading condition of the crack initatio in the mixed mode, the MMT -3(mode I+ mode II+ mode III) has the lowest values out of the all specimens. This implies that MMT-3 is possible of the crackinitation at lower load, if the specimen acts on together with the torque under the same loading condition. An elastic-plastic fracture toughness test using the PSD brings a successful experimentation in measuring the crack deformation(mode I+ mode II+ mode III).
