The fracture toughness of granular freshwater ice, including mixed mode and mode II fracture toughness, was investigated using the semi-circular bend method in this study. The experimental results showed that the fracture toughness values generally decreased slowly with increasing grain size. The use of the generalized maximum tangential stress criteria provided a better understanding of the fracture toughness of ice specimens under mixed mode loading conditions.
The fracture toughness of ice is of great importance to understand the fracture behaviour of ice impact and blasting. In this study, the mixed mode (I + II) fracture toughness and mode II fracture toughness of granular freshwater ice were first investigated using the semi-circular bend method. A series of fracture tests were carried out to investigate the effects of the grain size (0.8 mm to 4.5 mm) and notch inclination angle (0 degrees to 75 degrees) on the fracture toughness under mixed mode loading conditions. The experimental results indicate that the mode II and mixed mode fracture toughness values slowly decrease in general as the grain size increases. The fracture initiation angles and critical stress intensity factors of the SCB ice specimens were predicted using the generalized maximum tangential stress (GMTS) criteria and conventional maximum tangential Stress (MTS). The GMTS criterion provides a better understanding for mixed mode fracture toughness of ice specimens with various grain sizes, particularly for mode II dominated loading conditions. The grain size of ice directly affects the size of the fracture process zone, which in turn affects the variation law of mixed mode fracture toughness. The strain field and displacement field were initially analysed based on digital image correlation. The results indicate that the variation in the mixed mode crack was complex, eventually exhibiting an asymmetrical distribution of the displacement field.
