摘要

This paper presents a unified constitutive framework for Mixed-Mode I-II fracture based on two physically meaningful parameters: geometric crack density and conversion coefficient. This parameterization separates geometry from interface physics, enabling a seamless transition between open, frictionless closed, and frictional closed cracks through a single coefficient. Applied to multi-cracked specimens, the analysis reveals two critical thresholds: a KIIC/KIC ratio below 1.35 governs shear-dominated failure, and a 55°–60° inclination marks the transition from tensile to shear propagation. These findings provide quantitative insights for stability assessment of fractured rock slopes using only standard fracture toughnesses as input.
