Abstract
Fracture toughness relation of high strength materials in hi-axial loading is analysed in conjunction with the stress intensity factors, their corresp onding Mohr's type of circle and the crack angles. The critical crack angle with respect to the principal directions to cause fracture and the conditi on for valid fracture toughness relation in hi-axial loading condition are discussed.
