Abstract
A new semi-circular specimen is proposed by the senior author. The specimen, which is derivable from cores, consists of an edge crack cut at different angles. Three-point bending is used for loading. Modes I, II and mixed modes can be investigated depending on the inclination of the edge crack. Data derived from the proposed specimen compare favorably with published data from mode I using conventional specimens. Size effects are discussed.
