Resumo:Mixed-mode I + II fracture characterization of cortical bone tissue is addressed in this work. The mixed-mode bending test was used to impose different mode ratios. An equivalent crack length data reduction method was considered to obtain the strain energy release rate components. Crack opening and shear displacements were measured by means of digital image correlation. These quantities were then integrated to propose a direct evaluation of cohesive laws. The components of the cohesive laws for each mixed-mode loading were obtained by the uncoupled and Hogberg ¨ ’s methods. The later provided consistent evolution of strain energy release rate and peak stresses components in function of mode-ratio, revealing its appropriateness regarding the fracture characterization of cortical bone under mixed-mode I + II loading.
