Original Abstract

The paper presents a fracture-mechanics study conducted on a novel test configuration based on a combination of the wedge splitting and the bending test geometry. Four variants of this configuration differing in parameters of the specimen shape and boundary conditions were considered in the study. These selected variants exhibit significantly different stress state conditions at the crack tip, or, more generally, in the whole specimen ligament.
