Abstract
The effect of mixed mode I/III loading on fracture toughness of Ti-15 at.% Al-8 at.% Nb alloy, which undergoes stress-induced martensitic transformation, was investigated for four different grain sizes. The fracture toughness under mixed mode I/III loading was found to be significantly higher than that under mode I loading in all cases. The results were explained on the basis of the stress and strain fields ahead of a mixed mode crack and its influence on the martensitic transformation zone.
