13th International Conference on Fracture June 16–21, 2013, Beijing, China Figure 5. Biaxial notched specimen for crack propagation. Figure 6. Comparison of crack paths obtained between simulation and experiment. Both test observation and crack growth simulation show that when the loading is changed, the crack branches. The figure 6 shows the comparison between the experiment and the simulation crack paths. -7-
