Abstract
Many studies have been carried out to relate K-I and K-II at fracture in bi axial loading. In the present investigation, the Mohr type of stress intens ity factor (SIF) circles in uniaxial and pure shear type of loading are pre sented and discussed for the 'no fracture' relation between K-I and K-II fo r inclined cracks in biaxial loading. This 'no fracture' relation forms the lower bound for the fracture toughness relation between K-I and K-II. The experimental data points are seen to lie outside this lower bound for diffe rent materials.
