A novel notch stress intensity factor (NSIF) for U-notched specimens loaded under mixed mode is examined in this article. The concept is based on the averaged strain energy density criterion, or alternatively on the cohesive zone model, as well as the equivalent local mode approach. To a certain extent, it is a generalisation of Glinka’s NSIF for mode I, where σtip is replaced by σmax.The applicability of a fracture criterion based on this new NSIF is checked against 171 fracture tests with PMMA (at −60 °C) performed on U-notched specimens, with different notch root radii and loaded under mixed mode. The asymptotic behaviour of the new NSIF as the notch becomes a crack (when the notch root radius tends to zero) or when the notch disappears (when the notch root radius tends to infinity) is also discussed.
