Abstract (EN): This article studies the crack growth in mixed mode I-II using recent computational tools, namely the extended finite element method (XFEM) and the meshless technique: natural neighbor radial point interpolation method (NNRPIM). Different configurations of three-point bending (3PB) and compact tension (CT) specimens with modification to promote mode II loading were analysed. In addition, experimental tests with the modelled configurations were performed in order to evaluate the consistency and limitations of these approaches.
