When does a crack grow under mode II conditions?

På svenska

Author

Summary, in English

Even cracks which seem to be favourably oriented for mode II growth might extend in mode I by kinking. The conditions that favour mode I or mode II growth are examined. It is shown that a high confining pressure promotes mode II growth and so does a low ratio between the critical stress intensity factors of modes II and I. Quantitative results are given for different coefficients of friction and confining pressures.
