In this paper, we investigated the characteristics of initiation and propagation behavior for fatigue crack observed by changing various shapes of initial crack and magnitudes of loading in modified compact tension shear(CTS) specimen subjected to shear loading. In the low-loading condition, the secondary fatigue crack was created in the notch root due to friction on the pre-crack face grew to a main crack. In the high-loading condition, fatigue crack under shear loading propagated branching from the pre-crack tip. Influenced by the shear loading condition, fatigue crack propagation retardation appeared in the initial propagation region due to the reduction of crack driving force and friction on crack face. In both cases, however, fatigue cracks grew in tensile mode type. The propagation path of fatigue crack under the Mode II loading was 70 degree angle from the initial crack regardless of its shape and load magnitude.

Transportation or structure has the important role at clothing, food, and housing at modern society. If even the small crack happens and propagates at transportation or structure, the parts are fractured and they can cause a disaster. CT specimen was used in order to investigate the damage trend due to the crack propagation at this study to prevent this situation. As the material of CT specimen, the unidirectional carbon fiber reinforced plastic of the composite material in the limelight nowadays. The laminate angle designated in order of [60/-60/60/-60] was applied to the specimen model with the unidirectional fiber. As the analysis condition, the forced displacement was applied to the hole of upper part after fixing the hole of lower part. At the result of this study, the equivalent stress and shear stress was shown to be higher in order of the structural steel, copper, titanium and aluminum. This study result is thought to be utilized usefully at verifying the damage of CT specimen made of inhomogeneous material.

The use of fracture mechanics has traditionally concentrated on crack growth under an opening mechanism. However, many service failures occur from cracks subjected to mixed-mode loading. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue behavior under mixed-mode loading. Under mixed-mode loading, not only the fatigue crack propagation rate is of importance, but also the crack propagation direction. In modified range 0.3$\leq$a/W$\leq$0.5, the stress intensity factors (SIFs) of mode I and mode II for the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen were calculated by using elastic finite element analysis. The propagation behavior of the fatigue cracks of cold rolled stainless steels (STS304) under mixed-mode conditions was evaluated by using K$\_$I/ and $_{4}$ (SIFs of mode I and mode II). The maximum tangential stress (MTS) criterion and stress intensity factor were applied to predict the crack propagation direction and the propagation behavior of fatigue cracks.

In this study, retardation behavior of fatigue crack under single overloading of the mixed mode I+II state was experimentally investigated. To produce single overload in the mixed mode I+II state, the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen and loading device were used. The propagation tests for fatigue crack were performed under mode I loading overloading afterwards. We examined the observed deformation aspects, variation of fatigue life and crack propagation rate, and the aspects of retardation behavior from tests. The retardation effect of mixed-mode single overload on fatigue crack propagation behavior was smaller than that of mode I single overload. It has been confirmed that the retardation behavior did not immediately appear and the retardation length was short when the component of mixed-mode overload was changed.

The purpose of this paper is to investigate fatigue crack behavior under shear(Mode II) loading. Various specimens and devices have been used in order to produce Mode II loading in fatigue experiments for shear crack propagation. But, there is not sufficient comparisons of experimental results between Mode II and others loading modes, because of characteristics of applied loads and specimens. So, compact tension shear(CTS) specimens were used in this paper to investigate the propagation behavior of Mode II by comparing the experimental results between loading modes. We firstly observed the characteristics which was showed in Mode II experiment using CTS specimens. The experimental results under Mode II loading were compared with fatigue crack behavior under Mode I and Mixed-mode I＋II loading. The characteristics for initiation and propagation behavior under Mode II loading was investigated by such comparisons.

A loading device to be used in fracture experiment is presented. It's loading angle can be adjusted from $-45^{\circ}$ to $105^{\circ}$ at intervals of $15^{\circ}$ for a CTS ( compact tension-shear) specimen, so that it is to be useful to measure mixed mode toughness. The equations to give the $K_ I$, $K_ I1$ and J-integral for the experiment are evluated though finite elemetn analysis in which the loading procedure is simulated and the behaviors of the specimen such as load-displacement curve are estimated. In the course of the evaluation the values $K_ I$, $K_ I1$ and J-integral calculated through recentrly released numerical methods are employed as the reference ones.

In this study, the propagation behavior of fatigue crack effected hole defects was investigated under mixed-mode I+II loading. To create mixed-mode stress field at crack tip, the compact tension shear (CTS) specimen and loading device were used in this tests. The propagation experiments of fatigue crack were performed by changing of the loading application angle(${\phi}$) and the distance(L) estimated from pre-crack tip to hole center located side by side by side with a pre-crack. As L changes, the variation for propagation aspect of fatigue crack, fatigue life and crack propagation rate were examined under mixed-mode loading. Under mixed-mode loading, the propagation rate of fatigue crack increased while the propagation direction changed dramatically because of the interference of hole defects.

Practical structures are subject not only to tension but also to shear and torsional loading. Even under uniaxial loading, when the load is not perpendicular to the crack plane, mixed mode crack can occur. Hence, it is necessary to evaluate the fatigue behavior under mixed mode loading. In this study, the propagation behavior of the fatigue crack of the STS304 steels under mixed mode loading condition was investigated. The mode I and II stress intensity factors of CTS specimen were calculated using elastic finite element method with experimental results. The fatigue crack propagation under mixed mode was evaluated by the effective stress intensity factor proposed by Tanaka.

It is necessary to evaluate the fatigue behavior of rail steel under the multi-axial stress state to assure the railway vehicle's safety. For this purpose, the stress analysis to investigate the crack initiation criteria, static failure and fatigue behavior under mixed-mode are performed. The stress analysis results show that the initiation of the transverse fissure depends on the maximum shear stress below the surface. For the mixed mode, the fatigue crack growth behavior which is represented by the projection crack length and comparative S.I.F, ${\Delta}K_v$, shows the more conservative results. Also, its rate is lower than that of the case of the mode I, and this difference decreases with increasing the stress ratio, R.
