Abstract
Prediction of the angle of initial crack extension, critical load and unstable crack paths based on the criteria of maximum tangential stress (MTS), maximum tangential principal stress (MTPS), maximum tangential strain (MTSN), and strain energy density (SED) are compared for slit and elliptical cracks under pure shear loading and elliptical cracks under uniaxial compressive loading. Results presented here complement those in Part I of this investigation. Some of the theoretical predictions have been compared with data available in the literature.
