Abstract
Predicting crack trajectory when crack propagation occurs plays an important role in fracture mechanics problems because this will evaluate whether important areas of structure are heavily influenced by crack propagation. This article will introduce three theories to predict crack path, including maximum tangential stress theory, maximum energy release rate theory and minimum strain energy density theory. Besides, the FRANC2D program is used to simulate the crack propagation based on three above theories.
