Abstract Fracture analysis is a problem playing a fundamental role in the fields of Aerospace Mechanics and
Structural Mechanics. The paper deals with the analysis of the most essential among the fracture problems:
the one-dimensional crack in a double cantilever beam. The report presents a reliable analytical method to
correctly partition the energy release rates into pure fracture modes, appliable to both isotropic and
composite beams with clearly known mechanical properties, subject to shearing or bending loads. The
adopted strategy is based on the Timoshenko’s kinematic model and exploits the theoretical definition of
the I and II pure energy release rate… More >
