STP 1359 is a unique publication that spans the range of experimental, computational, theoretical, and physical approaches to the various aspects of mixed-mode fracture problems. 17 peer-reviewed papers address:

• Elastic-Plastic Fracture

• Three-Dimensional Cracks

• Anisotropic Fracture and Applications

• Fracture of Composite Materials

• Mixed-Mode Fracture Toughness

• Mixed-Mode Fatigue Crack Growth

• and Experimental Studies in Mixed-Mode Fatigue and Fracture.

STP 1359 also provides valuable insight into resolving some characteristic and fundamental mixed mode behavioral problems frequently observed in engineering materials, components, and structures.
