Abstract
Fracture processes in real structures are in many cases of a three dimensional (3D) character. In this paper some basic problems of 3D-fracture processes are considered and discussed, in particular for general mixed-mode loading conditions, when modes I and II and III are superimposed. For experimental investigations an AFM-specimen is under consideration, while numerical simulations are carried out with the program ADAPCRACK3D.Keywords
