Abstract
A new design of a fracture mechanics specimen is presented. It ensures a valid square–root singularity along the whole three-dimensional crack front under mode–I conditions. Within the proposed concept it is possible to adjust the angle between the crack front and the free surface in advance. Therefore, the shape of the whole crack front can be influenced in a desired manner.
